Firms’ exporting and importing activities: is there a two-way relationship? (2012, background): “However, other studies have found evidence of positive effects of exporting on firm productivity in Canada (Lileeva and Trefler 2010), Chile (Alvarez and López 2005), China (Park et al. 2010), Indonesia (Blalock and Gertler 2004), Italy (Serti and Tomasi 2008), sub-Saharan Africa (Van Biesebroeck 2”
Analysis of Productivity Differences among Foreign and Domestic Firms: Evidence from Germany (2008, background): “Readers interested in more detail are referred to the original work by Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) and recent empirical papers by Blalock and Gertler (2004) and Alvarez and Lopez (2005) applying this technique.”

Learning-by-Exporting: Continuous Productivity Improvements or Capacity Utilization Effects? Evidence from Slovenian Firms (2006, background): “One possible reason for the lack of evidence of learning effects may be that there has to be a greater gap in development between the importing country and the exporter’s home country for there to be effective learning, as suggested by Blalock and Gertler (2004) .”
Does knowledge spill to leaders or laggards? Exploring industry heterogeneity in learning by exporting (2008, background): “…some authors fail to find support for such productivity increases (e.g., Bernard & Jensen, 1999; Clerides, Lach, & Tybout, 1998; Delgado, Fariñas, & Ruano, 2002), others do find evidence consistent with learning (e.g., Aw, Chung, & Roberts, 2000; Blalock & Gertler, 2004; Ozler & Yilmaz, 2001).”
The financial resource curse (2013, unknown): “…is provided by Coe et al. (1997) and Amiti and Konings (2007), while the role of exports in fostering productivity growth has been documented by Blalock and Gertler (2004) and by Park et al. (2010).11 Importantly for our purposes, this literature indicates that a well developed tradable sector…”
