Gender and Export Propensity
基于加拿大中小企业调查数据，研究女性控股企业出口倾向低于男性控股企业的原因，并讨论其对创业理论、女性主义理论和出口政策的意义。
This article draws on theories about the internationalization process of small– and medium–sized enterprises (SMEs) and feminist arguments to explain gender differences in export propensity. Findings are based on a large–scale survey of Canadian SMEs. After controlling for sector, firm, and owner attributes, female majority–owned firms were significantly less likely to export than firms owned by men. The implications for entrepreneurship and feminist theory, export policy, and research are considered.
