Exporting higher quality and complex products is deemed pathway to economic growth and development. However, producing such products is knowledge‐intensive and requires quality intermediate inputs and advanced technologies. Integration into global trade networks is increasingly argued to be among the pathways to obtain such inputs and technologies, although not all countries may benefit equally from such integration. This paper builds on these arguments and investigates how participation in the global value chain (GVC) affects the quality of exported products. Using a highly disaggregated product‐level export data from 122 countries, we find that participation in (backward and forward) GVC impacts positively on the quality of exported products and brings the quality level closer to the quality frontier. While this result persists in the sub‐sample comprising developed countries, developing countries only benefit from backward GVC participation. Overall, the results indicate that GVC participation matters to export upgrading but points to a potential heterogeneity on the channel of impact across countries at different levels of development.

Several existing studies have documented a negative relationship between firm financial constraint and export activities but do not attempt to examine factors that could attenuate this relationship in Africa. In this paper, we examine the effect of financial constraint on exports in Africa and explore how the level of trust in countries where firms are located shapes this relationship. We combine the World Bank Enterprise Surveys with different measures of country-level personal and interpersonal trust computed from the Afrobarometer surveys of 19 African countries. Our results show that financial constraints negatively affect export activities. However, this negative effect is attenuated for firms that are located in trust-intensive societies. These findings are robust to different specifications. Interestingly, we find that small and medium-sized enterprises in Africa are more likely to be affected by financial constraints but also more likely to benefit from a higher level of both personal and interpersonal trust, while for larger firms only interpersonal trust matters.

Az ország öt településén épül jelenleg honvédelmi sportközpont, és további 11 helyszínre vonatkozóan már megszületett a döntés; a cél az, hogy minden megyében, majd minden járásban épüljön ilyen, a fiatalok hazafias és honvédelmi nevelését is segítő létesítmény – mondta a Honvédelmi Sportszövetség elnöke Balassagyarmaton.

Simicskó István látogatást tett az épülő sportközpontnál a Nógrád megyei városban, ahol 2020. február 28-án az ország első ilyen létesítményének alapkövét rakták le. Elmondta: nagyon jól halad az építkezés, a kivitelezők tudják tartani a határidőt, így szeptemberre elkészülhet a sportközpont. A kormány célja, hogy minden megyében, majd később minden járásban legyenek honvédelmi sportközpontok a helyben élő fiatalok, illetve mindenki számára, aki nagyobb jártasságra szeretne szert tenni a sportlövészetben, küzdősportokban, technikai sportokban, aki szeretne a csapat- és közösségépítés részese lenni – tette hozzá.

Simicskó ismertette: az országban öt helyszínen folyik az építkezés, Balassagyarmat mellett Újfehértón, Baján, Szarvason és Szigetváron. További tizenegy településen a beruházások előkészítése zajlik – fűzte hozzá. Szólt arról, hogy sok megkeresés érkezik a szövetséghez, sok fiatal szeretné kipróbálni magát sportágakban, a központokban pedig mindezt kulturált, szabályozott körülmények között, a fegyelem betartásával tehetik majd meg.

Ez fegyelemre tanítja, bátorságra neveli a fiatalokat, a közösségépítésben fontos értéket sajátíthatnak el – fogalmazott, hozzátéve: a mai virtuális világban is szükség van arra, hogy kötődjenek a szülőföldhöz, szeressék a hazájukat, tiszteljék az őseik által rájuk hagyott értékeket.
