Abstract

Zahlreiche Studien belegen, dass exportierende Unternehmen eine höhere Produktivität aufweisen als gleich große nicht exportierende Unternehmen aus derselben Branche. Gleichzeitig zahlen Exporteure ihren Mitarbeitern bei identischer Qualifikation höhere Löhne, und sie müssen Extrakosten im Zusammenhang mit den Ausfuhren tragen. Lohnt sich Exporttätigkeit „unter dem Strich“ – oder wird der Produktivitätsvorsprung durch die höheren Kosten ausgeglichen? Eine Untersuchung mit einem neu verfügbaren Längsschnittdatensatz, der Daten aus zwei Erhebungen der amtlichen Statistik kombiniert, zeigt, dass dies in den übrigen westdeutschen Bundesländern höchstwahrscheinlich und in einem ökonomisch relevanten Ausmaß der Fall ist, während es niedersächsischen exportierenden Industrieunternehmen nicht gelingt, ihren Produktivitätsvorsprung gegenüber nicht exportierenden Unternehmen auch in einen Renditevorsprung zu überführen.
