The Effect of Trade Liberalization on Firm Entry and Exit in Punjab, Pakistan

Lahore Journal of Economics, 2014, vol. 19, issue 1, 67-89

Abstract: This study focuses on the impact of trade liberalization on firm entry and exit in Punjab’s export manufacturing sector over the decade 2001–10. As far as the province’s export industries are concerned, real exchange rate depreciation attracts new firms but also leads weaker firms to exit. A reduction in local or international tariffs, however, has no significant impact on firm entry or exit.
