Overseas Links as Export Conduits
Aoife Hanley
Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between exports
and overseas links using data from the UK Community Innovation Survey.
Overseas vertical and horizontal links are associated with an average
increase in export intensity of 74 and 156 percent for vertical and
horizontal overseas links respectively. Firm size shows no significant
interactions with overseas links. The data suggests that overseas links are
a relatively infrequent form of conducting trade. My findings support the
role of Government in fostering overseas links despite their rarity, since
they are effective export conduits
