Innovation, firm productivity, and export survival: firm-level evidence from ASEAN developing countries

Abstract This firm-level study investigates the importance of innovation as a determinant of firm productivity and how firm productivity could impact firm export survival.

R&D expenditure is a significant driver of a firm’s product and process innovation (innovation output).
