The Role of the Internet in the Delivery of Export Promotion Services: A Web Site Content Analysis

ABSTRACT

This article examines the role of the Internet in the delivery of export promotion services. Based on a content analysis of the Web sites of 250 export promotion organizations (EPOs) representing over 130 countries, it is concluded that the majority of these organizations have not fully exploited the potentials of this technology in the delivery of support services to national exporters. Use of the Internet is primarily limited to dissemination of basic information with little effort made to utilize the interactive and customization features of the technology. The managerial and policy implications of this failure in terms of increased cost of market entry, lost export revenues, and exporter attrition are discussed.     

扩大内需与促进出口关系的实证分析——基于国内消费视角

文章从国内消费视角,分析了扩大内需与促进出口的相互影响和传导路径,并基于1981～2008年中美两国的相关数据,运用协整理论进行检验。结果表明,长期中,内需与出口具有相互影响、相互促进的作用。除二者间相互的直接作用外,在促进内需增长的同时,出口会受到内需增长溢出效应的作用而增长,而刺激出口增长的同时,国内需求会受到外需反馈效应的作用而扩大。     

我国出口商品结构与贸易发展方式的转变——基于1978-2007年的经验研究

本文从多个角度对我国改革开放30年来出口商品结构的演进及贸易发展方式的转变进行了分析。研究结果表明,我国出口贸易取得了极大的发展,出口商品结构不断优化,贸易发展方式不断转型。工业制成品处于优势地位,经过国家一系列政策调整,资源密集型产品比重不断下降,资本密集型产品比重不断上升;机电产品和高新技术产品出口份额一直保持高速增长;贸易增长方式表现为加工贸易占绝对比重,但近年来呈下降趋势,逐渐形成一般贸易、加工贸易和其他贸易竞相发展的良好格局。     

日本农产品出口贸易发展现状的研究

日本自战后确立＂贸易立国＂的经济发展战略以来,迅速成长为工业品的出口大国,但却成了世界上最大的农产品纯进口国,农业和工业的对外贸易发展严重失衡。从小泉内阁开始促进农产品出口的气势日渐高涨。但要解决日本农产品出口面临来自国内和国外的多重阻力,要靠日本自身的努力,如加快国内农业改革的步伐;减少对农业的过度保护;提高农产品的价格竞争力等。     

Export Market Development: Planning and Relationship Processes of Entrepreneurs in Different Countries

This article makes an initial exploration of whether and to what extent different national values may affect the development of export markets through business to business relationships between entrepreneurs in different countries. It does this by specifically examining the trust between people and the nature and role of business planning in the export market development process. To do this, different modes of both planning and relationship development are first distinguished, based on two separate research traditions. Notions of national values developed in previous research are outlined and used to develop formal tabulated propositions regarding how national values might influence business planning and trust formation. The relevance and applicability in understanding different approaches to business development in different countries is then explored. The discussions of three matched case entrepreneurs from different countries are examined in terms of the propositions detailed by means of verbal protocol analysis. This exploratory study helps concrete propositions to be suggested why and how national values influence export market development processes through the development of theoretical typologies. Planning and relationship processes were both important but the relationships came first, in all three entrepreneurs. Different types of trusting relationships were sought and required by the individuals examined, however, that largely concurred with national values stereotypes. These, in turn, led to different approaches to the timing, role, and nature of export planning. It is hoped that the article contributes an understanding of how different national values might lead to different roles for planning and relationships in export market development.

Information Sharing and Financial Sector Development in Africa

This study investigates the effect information sharing has on financial sector development in 53 African countries for the period 2004 to 2011. Information sharing is measured with private credit bureaus and public credit registries. Hitherto unexplored dimensions of financial sector development are employed, namely: financial sector dynamics of formalization, informalization, and non-formalization. The empirical evidence is based on Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The following findings are established. Information-sharing bureaus increase (reduce) formal (informal/non-formal) financial sector development. In order to ensure that information-sharing bureaus improve (decrease) formal (informal/non-formal) financial development, public credit registries should have between 45.45 and 50% coverage while private credit bureaus should have at least 26.25% coverage.

Financial development and private investment in Sub-Saharan Africa

This study examines the relationship between financial sector development and private investment in Sub-Saharan Africa. It uses panel data covering the period 1991-2004 from 18 countries in Africa. The main findings of the study are as follows: there is a negative relationship between interest rate and private investment, signaling large interest rate spreads in African economies. It is also found that both the credit to the private sector and the turnover ratio have significant relationships with private investment. However, the effect of turnover ratio on investment is insignificant. The insignificance of the stock market indicator reflects the low stage of stock market development in most of the African economies. In addition, it is found that the informal sector is still large and has positive effects on private investment and that institutional variables play a key role in determining the level of private investment in Africa.

出口贸易能带来FDI的流入吗？——基于浙江省经济发展的实证分析

本文选取1984-2004年浙江省经济发展的相关数据,检验了FDI与进出口贸易之间的各种可能性关系。结果表明,FDI与进出口间存在着长期协整关系,短期内存在较强的误差修正机制,出口与FDI之间有相关性很弱的反向机制,出口并不必然带来FDI的流入,而进口则与FDI呈正向变化。     

Analyzing Export Behavior Through Managerial Characteristics and Perceptions: A Multiple Case-Based Research

ABSTRACT

The decision-maker's role in international activity is crucial, particularly in the case of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, the extant literature on internationalization is characterized by a lack of consensus among scholars as to what constitutes the managerial factor in determining exporting. Therefore, this study focuses on the following issue: Which are the decision-maker's characteristics and perceptions that may influence the export behavior of SMEs? To address this main research question, a multiple-case study method is applied across four Spanish exporting SMEs. The findings show that high educational level, language skills, high-risk tolerance, innovativeness, as well as strongly perceived export stimuli compared to low and relatively easy to overcome export barriers positively influence the export involvement and development in these investigated SMEs. The study provides further insights into the research topic by jointly studying managerial characteristics and perceptions in the Spanish context where the exporting activities have not been as widely studied so far.
