Export performance of emerging market firms (2009, neutral): “a dependent variable poses methodological challenges as the dependent variable, by definition, is bound between a lower limit and an upper limit (Wagner, 2001).”
Organizational Learning, Innovation and Internationalization: A Complex System Model (2014, background): “Criscuolo, Haskel and Slaughter (2005) and Wagner (2001) demonstrate that international firms innovate more, thanks to access to a greater flow of ideas from external sources.”
Export behavior and productivity growth: Evidence from Italian manufacturing firms (2002, methodology): “Wakelin (1998) and Basile (2001) used this specification.”
SME Export Performance in Indonesia After the Crisis (2006, methodology): “Wagner (2001) shows that the fractional logit method proposed by Papke and Wooldrige (1996) is superior to the Tobit procedure.”
Exports and Productivity Growth: First Evidence from a Continuous Treatment Approach (2008, positive): “Following Wagner (2001, 2003), we apply the fractional logit model developed by Papke and Wooldridge (1996) to estimate the export intensity of the firms in our sample.”
Panel data methods for fractional response variables with an application to test pass rates (2008, methodology): “The most common of those methods, where the mean function takes the logistic form, has since been applied in numerous empirical studies, including Hausman and Leonard (1997), Liu et al. (1999), and Wagner (2001).”
Export behaviour of SMEs in transition countries (2013, methodology): “…with previous research, we use export intensity (foreign sales as a percentage of total sales) to measure the degree of firms’ involvement in foreign markets (Bonaccorsi 1992; Calof 1993; Wakelin 1998; White et al. 1998; Becchetti and Rossi 2000; Wagner 2001; Gorodnichenko et al. 2010; and others).”
Exporting and productivity in business services : evidence from the United States (2009, methodology): “In a recent contribution, Wagner (2007) reviews fifty-four micro-based empirical studies on exporting published between 1995 and 2006, and finds overwhelming support for the existence of this self-selection mechanism: highly productive firms are systematically more likely to become exporters than th”
Mergers, Acquisitions and Export Competitive- ness: Experience of Indian Manufacturing Sector (2012, background): “1 Specification of the Model The paper attempts to examine impact of M&A on competitiveness as the industries differ substantially in their technology base (Dosi, 1988), and the relation between technology related variables such as R&D and economies of scale and exports are likely to vary across ind”
Export propensity, export intensity and firm performance: The role of the entrepreneurial founding team (2012, methodology): “Larger size also means that any fixed costs will be spread over a larger number of units, something that produces economies of scale in R&D, production and marketing (Wagner 1995; 2001; Oviatt et al, 1995).”
Exporting, R&D, and absorptive capacity in UK establishments (2008, background): “The latter has been criticised by, for instance, Wagner (2001), who argues that (based on the ex post nature of sunk costs) there is no such thing as a two-step decision involving (i) the decision to export and (ii) how much to export.”
Learning by exporting: Lessons from high-technology SMEs (2013, methodology): “…innovative products as a proportion of total sales, models of this type are typically estimated either by tobit (e.g. Love and Mansury 2007; Roper et al 2008) or by the quasi-likelihood estimation method for fractional dependent variables suggested by Papke and Wooldridge (1996) (Wagner, 2001) 6.”
