Energy availability and reliability, access to credit, or the complexity of the business climate to name a few. Yet, these challenges affect both exporting and production for domestic consumption, which has been growing faster than exports. Indeed, exports accounted for 14.3 percent of GDP in 2005, but for 10.1 percent of GDP in 2019, placing Pakistan among the ten least export-oriented economies in the world (Figure <em>2<\/em>). So, there is something about exporting that is a challenge. This blogpost argues that the core of the problem lies at the intersection of low productivity and high trade costs.<a href=\"#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Two problems that feed each other, forming a vicious circle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"621\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-6.png 621w, https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-6-300x86.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><figcaption>Figure 2: Exports of goods and services as % of GDP, 2019 or last available<br>Source: World Development Indicators, World Bank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For firms to be able to export, their productivity needs to be high<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Productivity needs to be high enough to allow them to successfully pay for the trade costs associated with exporting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting more firms to export requires either increasing\nproductivity or reducing trade costs. Or both. It so happens that the latter\nleads to the former. International evidence shows that when it gets easier to\ntrade \u2013 being because you can get intermediate inputs and capital equipment at\nworld prices, because export intelligence is efficiently provided, or because\nCustoms, ports and logistics work seamlessly, then, more firms export. And they\nexport larger volumes.&nbsp; What\u2019s more, as\nthey export and compete with sophisticated players worldwide, they end up\nlearning how to produce better. &nbsp;This is\nalso true in Pakistan. \n\nIn a <a href=\"https:\/\/openknowledge.worldbank.org\/handle\/10986\/34281\">recent paper<\/a>\nwe examined how publicly listed firms in Pakistan fared in terms of\nproductivity, and we focused specially on this interaction between trade costs\nand productivity. We unveiled three key findings. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First, internationally linked firms are exceptional performers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Those that export (and also those that are partially or totally foreign owned) tend to do (much) better than those that are oriented to the domestic market or that are domestically owned. This is a common finding across countries. Interestingly, in Pakistan, the productivity gap between those that never export and those that systematically export is 25 percent, most of which is explained by exporters becoming more productive as they export more systematically (Table 1). This is suggestive of a process of learning by exporting.<a href=\"#_ftn1\">[2]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-7-1024x302.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-7-1024x302.png 1024w, https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-7-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-7-768x227.png 768w, https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-7-1016x300.png 1016w, https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-7.png 1063w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Table 1: Average productivity by export status: in Pakistan, exporters are better in the first place, but they get even better as they export more systematically <br>Note: authors calculations based on the listed firms\u2019 dataset. Difference in means test are reported with significance at *10%, **5%, ***1%.<br>Source: Lovo and Varela (2020)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Second, increased import duties reduces firms\u2019 productivity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Increased import duties \u2013 particularly, but not exclusively, levied on intermediates &#8211; reduces firms\u2019 productivity.  This is also a common finding across countries. Accessing intermediates at world prices is crucial to expand set of options firms have when choosing how to produce and this helps them find an efficient way of doing things. Efficient duty drawback mechanisms have been a game changer for Bangladeshi exporters, for example. Our results also suggest that import duty exemption schemes in place for exporters in Pakistan, that allow them to get refunds of duties paid on intermediates used to produce exportables, do not completely solve the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exemption Schemes Remain Complex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In part, because despite some progress on the matter, the system to claim exemptions remains complex, inducing some exporters \u2013 particularly the relatively smaller ones &#8211; to opt out of it. In part, because often, the domestic market acts as a platform to experiment before venturing in global markets, but it is only exporters that can avail to the duty exemptions. This is why we found that, in Pakistan, domestic oriented firms and the relatively small exporters face productivity declines when import tariff on inputs go up, but foreign-owned, or large exporting firms are relatively immune to input tariff changes (Figure 3). Thus, while improving these exemption schemes is important, it is no substitute for an across-the-board tariff rationalization reform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"562\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-9.png 562w, https:\/\/pide.org.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-9-300x138.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><figcaption>Figure 3: Despite duty exemptions, domestic-oriented firms and small exporters are negatively affected by increases in input tariffs.<br>Note: graph show regression coefficients (and 95% confidence intervals) of firm-level productivity (TFP) on input tariffs by type of exporter.

We found that firms operating in downstream markets benefit from increased FDI in upstream services sectors. The gains are larger for relatively less productive firms (Figure 4). Likely because this is associated with more varied, better quality, or cheaper services inputs that are necessary to produce efficiently downstream \u2013 think telecoms, software development, marketing, or sophisticated transport and logistics solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All in all, results show productivity-based export growth requires further efforts to reduce trade costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both in goods and services. So, what to do? Improving import duty exemption schemes is important \u2013 and progress towards automation has been made (the introduction of <em>FASTER<\/em> is an example) \u2013 but it is no substitute for an across-the-board tariff rationalization reform. The current efforts of the Government in this area are promising. Promoting export orientation through the provision of export intelligence to new exporters coupled with active investment promotion initiatives focusing on efficiency seeking investments, will boost productivity growth. Coordination between BoI efforts and TDAP are likely to pay off. \u00a0Also, easing restrictions \u2013 de jure or de facto \u2013 for foreign investments, particularly in modern services, will prove useful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> There are other challenges, such as energy prices and\nenergy reliability, access to credit, or the complexity of the investment\nclimate. Yet, these challenges affect both exporting and production for\ndomestic consumption, which has grown faster than exports, as revealed by the\ndecline in the ratio of exports to GDP from 14.3 percent in 2005 to 10.1\npercent in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\">[2]<\/a> Something similar happens for firms that are foreign owned.
