Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the factors that influence the export intensity of the firms operating in the Indian manufacturing sector. The study is done by adopting a regression model using the panel data for 270 firms from three industries which include chemical, metal and non-metal. The data is taken for a period of five years from 2005-2009. The factors used in the study include: age of the firm, size of the firm, import intensity, R & D intensity, capital intensity and technology intensity. The results indicate that all the factors taken for the study have a significant impact on the export intensity of the firm. The factors age of the firm, size of the firm and technology intensity have a negative impact on the export intensity of the firm, on the other hand, factors like import intensity, R& D intensity and capital intensity have a positive impact on the export intensity of the firm. Discussion and implications of the study are also mentioned at the end.
