Comparison to CEE countries, Israel and Turkey\u201d. The study allows to obtain comparable results on the potential role of various firm characteristics to formulate policy-relevant conclusions aimed at increasing the export competitiveness of Economys and the creation of an appropriate institutional environment.\nUsing a database (BEEPS) of a joint project by the EBRD and the World Bank, the researcher draws a comparison with the export behaviours of firms in the CEE region, Israel and Turkey to determine potentially common criteria that may have a stimulating impact on the growth of exports and which ones do not. \nAmong his conclusions for the MENA region, it is worth noting that the probability for a firm to grow internationally is related to \u201cthe level of productivity, the firm size\u201d as well as resources dedicated to R&amp;D. Meanwhile, the MED Brief stresses the importance of qualified\u00a0labour as a stimulating factor for exports, while the level of internationalization of the firm also plays a positive part. \nAs a specificity to the MENA region, the MED Brief also emphasizes that \u201cmulti-product firms are also more likely to export\u201d, which contrasts what is observed in CEE firms which rarely need to be multi-product to export.\nThe MED Brief conducted by the Dr. Tovias reached the conclusion that though there were some common criteria affecting the propensity of firms to export like the \u201cproductivity of labour [&#8230;]\u201d, differences are more relevant. So, compared to the CEE, MENA firms can be export-oriented, even if they are aged and not using foreign technology. Surprisingly corruption does not appear to be a significant determinant to being export-oriented or not for MENA firms.\nFinally, the Med Brief highlights a set of policy implications for the MENA governments that follow the conclusions reached by the FEMISE research. Most importantly, to improve export competitiveness, the Brief advocates for policies that develop modern education systems, that provide financial support for R&amp;D and innovation and that attract export-oriented foreign direct investments. \nThe originality of the recommendations comes from the fact that no direct export promotion is needed if the appropriate structural policies are adopted. The recommendations could be treated as an indirect way of promoting exports.\nYou can access the MED Brief by following this\u00a0link !\nAll FEMISE Policy Briefs are available on the FEMISE website: www.femise.org\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in the Mediterranean :\u00a0\n\n\n","author":81,"featured_media":5284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5761,5766,5751,5753,5767,2961,5760,5750,5759,5762],"location":[],"class_list":["post-28195","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-decision-makers","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-expert-opinion","tag-institutions","tag-mediterranean-exchanges","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"\u201cIs the transition of firms in MENA countries in order to meet the requirements of globalized market Economys already completed ?
