Export Growth by Developing Economies: Market Entry and Bilateral Trade
|
versione breve
|
We document the disappearance of numerous zeros in bilateral trade
matrices since 1970. A novel decomposition of the growth of 23
developing economies’ exports during 1970-97 reveals that
approximately one third of this growth can be accounted for by sales
of long-standing exportables to new trading partners. Product-line
econometric analyses suggest that such export growth is often
enhanced by market size and proximity, and also by experience gained
in the destination and proximate markets. Three measures of the
proximity of a potential export destination to foreign markets that
are already being supplied by an exporting nation are employed.
Their significance indicates the presence of a path dependent
process of geographical spread of exports.
