Abstract

Empirische Befunde zeigen, dass exportierende niedersächsische Industriebetriebe produktiver als vergleichbare nicht exportierende Betriebe sind, wobei diese Unterschiede bereits vor dem Exportstart bestehen (also eine Selbstselektion der produktiveren Betriebe auf Exportmärkte stattfindet), während es für Lerneffekte im Zusammenhang mit Exportaktivitäten und daraus folgendem höherem Produktivitätswachstum in exportierenden Betrieben keine Evidenz gibt. Mit neu verfügbaren Paneldaten für deutsche Industriebetriebe und auf der Grundlage der Ergebnisse einer neuen international vergleichenden Studie zeigt dieser Beitrag, dass die Produktivitätsprämie in Niedersachsen so hoch wie im Durchschnitt für den Rest von Westdeutschland, aber höher als für Ostdeutschland ist. Niedersachsen nimmt im internationalen Vergleich damit einen Mittelplatz unter den hier betrachteten Ländern ein. Ein interregionaler bzw. internationaler Vergleich der Größenordnungen der Selektions- und Lerneffekte ist hier allerdings nicht möglich. Zwar zeigt eine Gegenüberstellung der Ergebnisse für Niedersachsen mit denen für das übrige West- bzw. für Ostdeutschland und mit den übrigen EU-Ländern in den meisten Fällen ein Bild ähnlich wie für Niedersachsen, aber die Gruppen der Starter umfassen dabei in der Regel nur wenige Firmen, und die geschätzten Koeffizienten sind sehr häufig statistisch insignifikant, so dass ein quantitativer Vergleich nicht möglich ist.
