Cross-Border Acquisitions and Target Firms' Performance: Evidence from Japanese Firm-Level Data (2006, background): “See, for example, Girma, Greenaway, and Kneller (2004), Barba Navaretti, Castellani, and Disdier (2006) and Hijzen, Jean, and Mayer (2006).”
The Dynamics of Firm-Level Adjustment to Trade Liberalization (2007, background): “…some evidence for a learning-by-exporting phenomenon, whereby rms improve their productivity subsequent to export market participation (see for instance, Delgado, Farinas, and Ruano (2002), De Loecker (2006), Girma, Greenaway, and Kneller (2004), Topalova (2004), and the survey in Lopez(2005)).”

Learning-by-Doing, Learning-by-Exporting, and Productivity: Evidence from Colombia (2005, positive): “To control for these potential sample composition effects, we use matching techniques recently applied by Girma et al. (2004) when analyzing the effect of exports on U.K. plants’ TFP.”
Revisiting Some Productivity Debates (2003, methodology): “(19) The second approach to control for self-selection is with a matching estimator as in Wagner (2002), Girma, Greenaway, and Kneller (2004), and De Loecker (2005).”
