Abstract: Focusing on the role of an intermediary, we consider the choice of export mode (i.e., direct vs. indirect exports) by a manufacturer. We also examine the effect of “learning-by-exporting,” which implies that a manufacturer using an intermediary in a previous period is likely to export directly in a subsequent period.
