Summary/Abstract |
The paper presents an analysis of the factors explaining the export performance of firms in the defence sector. We focus on the case of Norway, and make use of two complementary methodologies: the first is based on econometric firm-level data analysis for the whole population of defence companies, and the second is based on qualitative case study research on the three most important defence export products (weapon stations, ammunition and electronics). Our empirical results highlight the importance of four major success factors for exporting firms: (1) the participation in offset agreements; (2) the ability to focus on their set of core competencies; (3) their R&D activities and interactions with the public S&T system; and (4) demand opportunities and, relatedly, user-producer interactions.

Summary/Abstract |
By and large, India's performance on the high-technology manufacturing trade front is not too impressive. India is a small player in most of the product categories barring pharmacy sector. In the last 10 years' period of observation, India has not been able to increase her presence significantly in most of the segment. By contrast, China, starting from a similar base like India in some of the segments, has exhibited marked improvement. It should also be mentioned that unlike China, India has not been able to enter high-end segment of product in most of the categories. Of course, India's performance would have been better if India would have concentrated on products which have low NTBs. China has done the same in some cases.
