Abstract: The paper analyzes the effects of support for attending trade fairs on exports, foreign direct investments (FDI), and service outsourcing, using Japanese firm-level data on both performances and trade-fair participation. To solve self-selection problem into the service, I utilize a difference-in-differences matching estimation approach with unique firm characteristics, as well as a linear estimation approach with multiple fixed-effects. The results show that there are positive effects of attending trade-fairs on exporting status. Furthermore, attending a trade fair induces firms to outsource their market research activity.
