Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to synthesize and evaluate recent studies on determinants of export performance.
Design/methodology/approach
Using a vote-counting technique this paper reviews 124 papers published between 2006 and 2014 to assess the determinants of export performance.
Findings
The results indicate that significant progress has been made during these nine years and that: numerous new determinants are identified, data quality and statistical biases have received considerable attention, and interaction and indirect relationships are considered. However, at the same time, the research of export performance is still limited by a lack of synthetic theoretical basis, inconsistent empirical test results, and insufficiency in the research framework and statistical methodologies.
Originality/value
Export performance has received increasing attention over recent decades, but the area is still characterized by fragmentation and diversity hindering theoretical and practical development. This paper integrates the findings of recent studies on export performance and provides further discussion from both theoretical and methodological aspects, and points out the directions for future research. |
