Exporters and Their Products: A Collection of Empirical Regularities

Costas Arkolakis and Marc-Andreas Muendler

CESifo Economic Studies, 2013, vol. 59, issue 2, 223-248

Abstract: We present a set of empirical regularities that characterize the export activity of firms. We decompose firm-level exports by product category across destination markets in a consistent manner for four data sets from Brazil, Chile, Denmark, and Norway. We relate the empirical regularities to new trade theories that connect microeconomic activity to aggregate outcomes. Our findings corroborate main motivating facts and may help discipline future theoretical work. (JEL codes: F12, L11, F14). Copyright The Authors 2012.
