Innovation, Export, Brazil, India and ChinaAbstract
The aim of this paper is to develop an empirical investigation about the relation between
innovation effort and export performance to a sample of industrial firms from Brazil,
India and China. The database used by firms is obtained from World Bank Enterprise
Survey 2002 and 2003, and estimated probabilistic models. The findings suggest that a
higher innovative effort from Brazil, India and China, measured by new products, R&D
spending, technology index or cooperation, increases the probability of exporting. For
all countries, a higher foreign capital and machines and equipments spending increase
the probability of exporting. However, this study verify that to Brazilian, Indian and
Chinese firms, the linkage between innovative effort and probability to export is weaker
than the observed to firms from developed countries.
