Abstract

In this article, we are speci cally interested in product innovation as one potential driver of competitiveness. More precisely, we examine the relationship be- tween product innovation (seen as a way to reach quality di erentiation on foreign markets) and the export behaviour at the rm-product level in a theoretical model and we propose to test the predictions of this model with an application to the French dairy industry. The main issue addressed is whether product innovation, i.e. quality- enhancing strategy, improves rms' export performance.We especially examine to what extend product innovation a ect the quantity sold and the price charged on foreign market. Based on a unique data set detailing innovation at the rm-product-country level in the French dairy sector, we test the predictions of the model. Accounting for the self-selection process highlighted in a preliminary analysis, our results show that the quantity sold and the prices charged by rms increase after the introduction of an innovation at the product level.
