Abstract: | This paper examines government intervention to help exporters overcome informational barriers to entry into foreign markets. Foreign consumers know the quality of a local good but not that of the imported substitute. An exporter who chooses high quality needs to signal this choice to foreign consumers via a high introductory price. Export policy affects both the signaling distortion and competition between exporter and incumbent. |
