Domestic rivalry and export performance: theory and evidence from international airline markets
本文研究了国内竞争如何促进出口，提出三条理论路径，并在全球航空业中验证了其中一条——企业绩效提升效应。
Abstract The much studied relationship between domestic rivalry and export performance consists of those supporting a national‐champion rationale, and those supporting a rivalry rationale. While the empirical literature generally supports the positive effects of domestic rivalry, the national‐champion rationale actually rests on firmer theoretical ground. We address this inconsistency by providing a theoretical framework that illustrates three paths via which domestic rivalry translates into enhanced international exports. Furthermore, empirical tests on the world airline industry elicit the existence of one particular path – an enhanced firm performance effect – that connects domestic rivalry with improved international exports.
