Implication

Survey analysis finds female ownership reduces export propensity and market diversification in Indian firms, indicating a need for gender-targeted trade policies.

Key Points

To examine whether firm owner gender affects export propensity, export mode, export intensity, and export market diversification among enterprises in India.
Analyzed cross-sectional data from the World Bank's Enterprise Survey comprising 9,281 firms across diverse regions in India.
Applied binomial logistic regression models to evaluate the direct and moderating impact of owner gender on four key export dimensions while controlling for firm-level covariates.
Enterprises with majority female ownership exhibit a significantly lower propensity to engage in export activities compared to male-owned firms.
Conditional on entering export markets, the firm owner's gender has no significant association with export mode or export intensity.
Firms owned predominantly by women demonstrate significantly more concentrated export markets, reflecting lower export market diversification.
