| Abstract: | Case studies of export behavior suggest that firms that penetrate foreign markets reduce entry costs for other potential exporters, either through learning effects or establishing commercial linkages. The authors examine whether spillovers associated with one firm's export activity reduce the cost of exporting for other firms. They identify two sources of spillovers: export production in general and the specific activities of multinationals. From a simple model of export behavior they derive a probit specification for the probability that a firm exports. |
