dc.description.abstract | In the context of Indian industry, this article argues that in the
presence of capital market imperfections and sub-optimal contractual
arrangements, small firms face higher transaction or
selling costs in the domestic market. One of the strategic responses
by small firms towards overcoming the mobility barriers imposed
by high transaction costs in the domestic market is to break into the
competitive world market. Small firms that could realise a critical
level of production efficiency and possible information externalities
that arise through inter-firm linkages might be the ones that
could succeed in exports. The empirical observations derived from
the analysis of firm level survey data provide reasonable support to
the main arguments. | |
