Recent t heories have posited a positive relationship between trade and institution quality. Most e mpirical work on trade and institutions has mostly relied on cross-country panel data. U sing firm-level data from Malaysian manufacturing, this study aims to empirically e xamine this relationship. The results on the relationship between exporting and in stitutions indicate that perceptions of court fairness are negatively related to e xporting. Furthermore, the result for trade-related institutions is not statistically s ignificant. A key limitation of microdata studies is the lack of responses to survey questions pertaining to corruption. Additionally, more effort is required to develop b etter proxies for measuring the quality of institutions at the micro-level.}, title = {Exporting and institutions: firm-level evidence from malaysian manufacturing}, year = {2023} }
