Abstract: The goal of this study is to explore the potential determinants of the post-entry export performance of new firms operating in Greek manufacturing and services industries. We track a large sample of new firms established during the period 2000-2004 and we analyse the drivers of export performance over the period 2010-2012 using data from ICAP directories and Hellastat. Estimations of panel fixed effects show that firm size, age, liquidity and industrial ICT intensity favour post-entry export performance. By contrast, high-leveraged new firms, located in metropolitan areas and operating in knowledge intensive services, tend to be less export-oriented.
