| Tiivistelmä: | Recent research on international trade focuses on firm-product-level heterogeneity and the role of uncertainty in shaping international trade. This paper contributes to the literature by examining product-level dynamics within firms in the context of Mexican trade integration under NAFTA. The data show that new exporters enter foreign markets with a small number of varieties, most of which were previously sold at home, and with a small volume. It is also suggested that export discoveries are comparatively rare and are imitated within a short period of time. |
