Does the use of imported intermediates increase productivity? Plant-level evidence Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Kasahara, Hiroyuki
Rodrigue, Joel
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
This paper examines whether importing intermediate goods improves plant performance. While addressing the issue of simultaneous productivity shocks and decisions to import intermediates, we estimate the impact foreign intermediates have on plants' productivity using plant-level Chilean manufacturing panel data. Across different estimators, we find evidence that becoming an importer of foreign intermediates improves productivity.
