註釋The study investigates whether access to digital ways of conducting business can enhance the productivity of the unorganized sector MSMEs in India, and hence, foster their participation in international trade. The analysis is conducted using the National Sample Survey's 73rd round on unincorporated non-agricultural Indian enterprises for the year 2015-16, covering approximately 2,90,000 firms, and performing separate analysis for both manufacturing and services firms. The key findings are: First, digitalization has a positive impact on firm-level productivity, while controlling for firm-level characteristics. Second, the quantile regression analysis confirms the robust impact of digitalization across different levels of productivity. Third, the Probit Regression Model highlights the combined positive and significant impact of digitalization and productivity on the international trade participation of an unorganized sector MSME. These findings can serve as a motivation for accelerating the policy efforts towards better productivity and digital transformation of these firms, particularly for manufacturing MSMEs.
