Abstract: The paper analyzes the effects of support for attending trade fairs on exports, foreign direct investments, and service outsourcing, using Japanese firm‐level data on both performances and trade‐fair participation. To solve the self‐selection problem in 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.
