Abstract: This article examines the performances of French exporting firms. Using a highly detailed database, we confirm that exporting firms are much bigger, more productive and more profitable than domestic ones. We show that this difference is particularly strong for firms that export to non-EU markets. However, this difference is mainly due to a selection effect: one to two years before starting to export, firms experience a relatively strong productivity growth, but this advantage tends to disappear rapidly.
