Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

As far as presentation, research methodology and subsequent findings presented in the paper, the quality looks very impressive. But the points that need to be addressed by the authors are:

1. Nowhere in the article it is stated precisely the objectives of the study, the research gap and whether the findings match the objectives set for the study.

2. The authors need to clearly state why there is a need to study the impact and mechanism of entrepreneurship on export product quality.

3. Moreover, the database used in the study is from 2000-2013, which may not hold significance at present. Hence the authors are suggested to consider the dataset of the latest period so that the findings would be more relevant.

Reviewer 2 Report

In this manuscript, authors empirically investigates the impact and mechanism of the entrepreneurship on export product quality. However, I have few observations:

1.       Overall manuscript is well presented but abstract need to be rewrite in such a way that it present basic idea behind this research along with the clear picture  of conclusion drawn based on study.

2.       Authors are required to elaborate more clearly on the purpose and novelty of their work and add the future scope in the conclusion section.

3.      In the manuscript, econometric model that considers both micro-level factors and macro-level market factors is considered. Wavelets have not, however, been used very much in the fields of economics, econometrics, and finance. This should be the part of future scope section. For this, authors are required to go through the various references related to the use of wavelets in econometric and other related field to make the reference list exhaustive. For example:

(i)                 Kumar, A. et al. (2011). MODWT based time scale decomposition analysis of BSE and NSE indexes financial time series. International Journal of Mathematical Analysis5(27), 1343-1352.

(ii)               Greenblatt, S. A. (1996). Wavelets in econometrics: An application to outlier testing. In Computational Economic Systems: Models, Methods & Econometrics (pp. 139-160). Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands.

(iii)             Koranga, et al. (2018). Image denoising based on wavelet transform using Visu thresholding technique. International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management Sciences3(4), 444.

4.       Please add a subsection clearly articulating the main limitations and wider applicability of your model.

5.       Recheck all the captions of figures, equations and tables.

6.       However, the English of the manuscript is readable though I suggest proofreading of the manuscript carefully for grammatical errors.

Reviewer 3 Report

All of this manuscript was good for publication. Authors can add several things to strengthen the introduction by adding some parts such as products that are commonly used and pollute the environment. Explanations related to these products can be made in a more comprehensive and detailed manner by mentioning various studies related to people's habits in using environmentally friendly goods in various countries.
