Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this chapter is to analyse the effect of export intensity and innovation in technical efficiency. We use data for Spanish manufacturing firms during the period 2004-2009. So the chapter will focus on exports companies to investigate the relationship between export, innovation and technical efficiency. As it is well known the export firms are more competitive than those that are not focused on foreign markets. Thus, this work analyses the relevance of innovative activities as a determinant factor of their competitiveness.
