Abstract
Los nuevos modelos económicos que incorporan heterogeneidad a nivel empresa asumen que las decisiones de
producción son completamente flexibles, dejando de lado el potencial papel crítico que podrían desempeñar las
restricciones de capacidad en las principales decisiones estratégicas de las empresas. Utilizando los datos de una
muestra representativa de empresas manufactureras españolas, la Encuesta Sobre Estrategias Empresariales (ESEE),
este artículo estima un modelo Probit bivariado para evaluar el impacto de las restricciones físicas de capacidad sobre
la decisión conjunta de exportar e invertir en I+D. El principal resultado del trabajo indica que las empresas
restringidas son menos propensas a participar en estas estrategias.
Most of the new models based on firm heterogeneity assume that production is completely flexible and do not take into account the critical role of capacity constraints in firm’s strategic decisions. However, it seems clear that capacity-constrained firms cannot freely increase production. By using data drawn from the Encuesta Sobre Estrategias Empresariales (ESEE) about Spanish manufacturing firms, this article applies a bivariate probit model to empirically estimate the effect of physical capacity constraints in the firm’s joint decision to export and invest in R&D. The main result of the article reveals that firms facing capacity constraints are less prone to engage in these strategies.
