Всегда ли наличие у предприятия статуса экспортера связано с увеличением его производительности? В данной работе изучается взаимосвязь экспортного статуса предприятия и его технической эффективности в российском обрабатывающем секторе в период с 2004 по 2013 г. Для оценки эффекта экспортного статуса используются два подхода, основанных на оценке стохастической границы производственных возможностей. В рамках первого подхода оценивается воздействие экспорта через расчет предельного эффекта влияния экспортного статуса на техническую эффективность. Второй подход основан на методе мэтчинга предприятий экспортеров с неэкспортерами по мере склонности к экспорту. Полученные результаты устойчивы и свидетельствуют о наличии положительной взаимосвязи между экспортным статусом и технической эффективностью. В обоих случаях эффект экспорта не превышает 3 п. п.

Is it generally true that being an exporter for a firm is associated with a higher productivity? We study the relationship between firms’ export status and their technical efficiency in Russian manufacturing sector in 2004-2013 using the data from the Bureau van Dijk database “Ruslana”. To estimate the exporter status effect we apply two methods, both based on the stochastic frontier analysis. The first approach estimates the effect as the marginal effect of the exporter status on technical efficiency. The second approach is based on the propensity score matching of exporting firms with nonexporting firms. We obtain robust results which suggest that the relationship between the exporter status and technical efficiency is positive. In both cases the exporter status’ effect is up to 0.03 (3 p. p.).
