Contemporary Economic Policy, 1996, vol. 14, issue 2, 1-14

This paper identifies the sources and nature of these costs and recommends policies capable of helping LDC exporters overcome transaction cost‐based obstacles to such exports. Data for the analysis are from questionnaires addressed to samples of manufactures exporters and trading intermediaries in Egypt.
