 note = {This study explores the benefits of exporting on firm productivity in ASEAN developing countries. Firm-level studies in the ASEAN region remain limited to single-country analyses. Using a unique panel database from the World Bank Enterprise survey and adopting the Propensity Score Matching Model (PSM) allow assessing the benefit of exporting on firm productivity while avoiding heterogeneous firm bias. The current study finds that the impact of exporting on firm productivity is not significant. Although the firms with higher productivity tend to engage themselves in exporting activities (confirming the self-selection hypothesis), the study does not confirm improvements in productivities through exporting. Evidence of a benefit in firm productivity, measured by TFP and labor productivity, is weak: productivity’s exporting firm and non-exporter do not significantly differ.},
