Export Performance:

While most of the studies analysing export performance of manufacturing sector focused on the role of firm size and technology, in this backdrop, the present study first examines the inter industry export performance of both capital and labour intensive industries of manufacturing sector in India. [...] In despite the vast literature of export performance of the manufacturing sector in developed and other developing countries; the existing empirical literature of the export performance of the manufacturing sector in India is limited. [...] Econometric Analysis and Result For examining export performance of capital and labour intensive industries, the paper is derived the labour and capital intensive industries using the ratio of labour to capital (L/K). [...] However, on an average, some of the two-digit industries are labour intensive, but the L/K ratios of some of the firms are less than the average of the total that means some firms within the labour-intensive industries are capital intensive in nature. [...] The results found that the coefficients of labour-intensity is significant and positively affect export to sales ratio in most of the labour- intensive industries except Wood and products of wood and cork industries and Fabricated metal products.
