Abstract: type="main" xml:id="sjpe12077-abs-0001">

Empirical studies on the micro-level effects of exporting on productivity pay usually little attention to the potentially heterogeneous effects of the different modes of export market entry. We show that multi-product export entry is associated with higher post-entry productivity compared to other firms. This can imply significant benefits from experimentation with different products. Our analysis is based on detailed export data from full population of firms in Estonia, disaggregated for each firm by export markets and individual products.
