Abstract

Recently in Japan, depressed domestic demand, a spurt of economic activities in the emerging markets, and the aftermath of the disaster in 2011 have accelerated the overseas operations of large firms. However, the overseas expansion of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) has been limited, because of the Japanese manufacturing custom of shitauke. This paper, using the Census of Manufactures, estimates the learning effect of Japanese firms by exporting. The results show that the learning effects are observed in most of the firms, but they differ according to firm size. The learning effects of large firms are observed from the beginning of the commencement of the exporting business, on the other hand, the total factor productivity (TFP) of small firms is gradually improving. In addition, the pace of improving TFP differs by location and industry.
