Fixed Export Costs and Export Behavior∗
This paper provides a direct test of how fixed export costs and productivity jointly determine firm-level export behavior. Using Chilean data, we construct indices of fixed export costs for each industry-region-year triplet and match them to domestic firms. Our empirical results show that firms facing higher fixed export costs are less likely to export, while those with higher productivity expo...
متن کاملMarginal Distance: Does Export Experience Reduce Firm Trade Costs?
Are the costs of exporting to a market reduced if a firm has experience of exporting to a neighbouring market? If so, does this effect operate through reducing entry barriers or by increasing sales once the firm is operating in the market? This paper examines linkages between current export destinations and entry, sales and exit for new markets. We find that measures of exporting experience in ...
متن کاملOwnership Structure and Export Performance: Firm-Level Evidence from Korea
The central objective of our paper is to empirically examine the relationship between the ownership structure of firms and their export performance. To do so, we use data from Korea, a classic example of successful export-oriented industrialization. While a large and growing empirical literature investigates the relationship between the ownership structure and overall performance of firms, ther...
متن کاملGSICS Working Paper Series The Role of Entry Costs and Heterogeneous Characteristics of Firms in the Decision to Export: Empirical Evidence from Firm-level Data in Vietnam
This paper contributes to the examination of factors that affect the decision to export of firms. Using a panel of firm-level data in Vietnam’s manufacturing sector, we test for the role of sunk costs and heterogeneous characteristics of firms in determining firms’ probability of exporting. Under a framework that controls for unobserved heterogeneity among firms, we find that the sunk entry cos...

In the increasing returns sector firms face fixed, in addition to variable, trade costs, and both exporters and non-exporters may coexist. Exporters benefit from access to large foreign markets, thus a small country has a higher share of exporting firms than a large one. In contrast to standard models, the incr...
