When equipment and specifications were held identical, exporting firms produced rugs faster and achieved higher quality scores across 11 master artisan evaluation dimensions [7-9].
Output per labor hour declined in field settings for exporting firms due to higher specification difficulty (more colors, higher thread counts, complex designs), but increased in speed and quality when evaluated on identical specifications inside a standardized workshop.
