Research On The Relationship Between Export And Productivity Of Foreign Manufacturing Enterprises

Since the reform and opening up,China's export trade has developed rapidly,but the development of Shaanxi's export trade has been characterized by rapid growth and small increments.Shaanxi's export trade has a low contribution rate to the country's export trade and the province's economic development.The construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt brings new opportunities for the development of Shaanxi's export trade,but the premise of seizing external opportunities is the improvement of export enterprises' export capabilities.Therefore,how to fundamentally improve the level of Shaanxi's export trade has become an urgent problem to be solved.New-new trade theory-heterogeneous enterprise trade theory believes that productivity is the decisive factor affecting the export choice of enterprises,and the export behavior of enterprises will also act on productivity.These two effects are summarized by scholars as "export self-selection" and " learning by exporting." However,the study of the relationship between export and productivity of Chinese industrial enterprises has found that the productivity of export enterprises is lower than that of domestic enterprises.Scholars refer to this as the "productivity paradox".Then,for foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises in Shaanxi Province,does their export behavior follow the "export self-selection effect","learning by exporting effect" or "productivity paradox" ?This paper mainly studies the relationship between the export and productivity of foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises in Shaanxi Province,and explores whether the export behavior of foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises in Shaanxi Province follows the "export self-selection effect","learning by exporting effect" or "productivity paradox" phenomenon.Firstly,the article analyzes the development status and structural characteristics of Shaanxi's export trade,the contribution of Shaanxi's export trade to the national export trade and the province's economic development,and the status of foreign-funded enterprises in the province's export trade.Then,the characteristics of foreign-funded enterprises in Shaanxi Province are explained.The comparative analysis method is used to analyze the difference in productivity between foreign-funded manufacturing export enterprises and foreign-funded manufacturing domestic enterprises,and further compare the other characteristics of foreign-invested manufacturing export enterprises and domestic enterprises.Then,with the sample of foreign-funded manufacturing enterprises in Shaanxi Province from 2011 to 2016,using STATA 14,this paper constructs a panel fixed effect model to study the relationship between export and productivity of foreign-funded manufacturing enterprises The existence of "export self-selection effect" and "learning by exporting effect" provides theoretical support for the export growth in Shaanxi Province.Finally,according to the results of the study,some suggestions are put forward for the development of export trade in Shaanxi Province.The results show that the development of export trade in Shaanxi Province shows the characteristics of rapid growth but little increase,and Shaanxi's export trade has a low contribution rate to the country's export trade and the province's economic development.Foreign-funded enterprises play a dominant role in Shaanxi's export trade,and the export scale of foreign-funded manufacturing enterprises determines the export scale of Shaanxi Province.There is no "productivity paradox" in the export trade of foreign-funded manufacturing enterprises in Shaanxi Province,and there are faint "self-selection effect" and " learning by exporting effect".Although the "export self-selection effect" is faint and the promotion effect of productivity on enterprise's export is not strong,the increase of productivity has a strong positive impact on the increase of enterprise's export scale.The company's approximate total factor productivity increased by 1%,and the export value increased by 1.5258%.
