Abstract: This paper sheds some light on measure of export variety and features the geographical spread of a country��s export varieties to the worldwide countries. First this paper constructs measures of export variety that are consistent with an underlying constant-elasticity of substitution (CES) aggregator function to compare export varieties from a country to its many destination countries. Second this paper shows how exports to different destination markets shows a distinct pattern with greatest variety to the wealthier and larger markets, following by exports of those products to other countries.
