The paper investigates the link between firm-level productivity and internationalisation (through exports, imports and foreign direct investment (F.D.I.)) in the Lodz Voivodeship, Poland. The Olley–Pakes algorithm was used to estimate firm-level productivity. Two hypotheses were then tested – self-selection hypothesis (stating that internationalisation is only possible at sufficiently high productivity levels) and learning hypothesis (claiming that engaging in international activity facilitates productivity growth). It has been found that productivity may affect firms’ decisions about engaging in import and F.D.I., while there is no evidence of such an effect regarding exports. At the same time, there is no proof for learning, suggesting that within the timeframe of the analysis firms from the Lodz Voivodeship did not experience productivity gains due to international trade or investment
