| Abstract: | An unbalanced panel data set is used for exporting companies from manufacturing industries in one German federal state, Lower Saxony, to investigate the microstructure of the recent export boom. Looking at data for 1995/96-2001/02 it is demonstrated that a considerable number of plants start and stop exporting each year, but that most of the export dynamics is due to positive and negative changes of exports in plants that continue exporting. A small fraction made of 4-5 percent of all exporting plants is responsible for around 70 to 80 percent of the gross increase in exports. |
