Abstract

We analyze the impact of private equity (PE) investments (both venture-backed and buyout deals) on export performance in a cross-country setting. Using a comprehensive database of 22 OECD countries and 12 aggregated industries, we find that PE has a positive effect on export density and export market share. We confirm this finding after controlling for potential endogeneity issues using an IV framework. This impact is deeper in industries with higher productivity, value-added, and infrastructure availability. The outcomes are similar when local and foreign PE activity are considered, although foreign PE activity shows greater capacity to generate exports in the host country. Moreover, foreign PE activity enhances the capability of local PEs to generate additional exports, showing a complementary effect. Finally, country-specific characteristics such as trade freedom and institutional quality have a greater impact in generating exports when PE activity is higher. Our results have policy implications regarding access to foreign VC and PE investment in emerging economies.

私人股本投资对出口的作用:来自经合组织国家的证据

我们分析了私募股权(PE)投资(包括风险投资和收购交易)对跨国环境下出口绩效的影响。利用22个经合组织国家和12个综合产业的综合数据库，我们发现PE对出口密度和出口市场份额有正向影响。在使用静脉注射框架控制潜在的内生性问题后，我们证实了这一发现。这种影响在生产率、附加值和基础设施可用性较高的行业中更为深刻。考虑到当地和外国体育活动，结果是相似的，尽管外国体育活动在东道国显示出更大的出口能力。此外，外国PE活动增强了当地PE产生额外出口的能力，显示出互补效应。最后，当PE活动较高时，贸易自由和制度质量等国家具体特征对产生出口的影响更大。我们的研究结果对新兴经济体获得外国风险投资和私募股权投资具有政策意义。

期刊介绍： International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
