Does the type of neighbor matter? Heterogeneous export spillovers on domestic companies in Mexico

Estudios Económicos, 2017, vol. 32, issue 2, 255-292

Abstract: This document examines whether the probability of entering new external markets or the increase in export products on the part of Mexican firms are related to the proximity of diverse multinational firms ex- porting under different trade regimes. The results show that export spillovers are far from homogeneous in their effects on Mexican firms, since their existence is related to the export activity of neighboring for- eign firms. Moreover, such spillovers are more likely to appear in places where neighboring national and foreign firms have not only common trade regimes, but also common technological level of production.
