Ownership Structure and Export Performance: Firm-Level Evidence from the Republic of Korea

| Date: | December 2011 |
| Type: | Papers and Briefs |
| Series: | Economics Working Papers |
| ISBN: | 1655-5252 (print) |
Description
This paper empirically examines the relationship between the ownership structure of firms and their export performance. To do so, they use firm-level data from the Republic of Korea, a classical example of successful export-oriented industrialization. Their empirical results indicate that Korean firms with more concentrated ownership are more likely to be exporters and export more.
