本文使用一个新的数据集,从四个非洲国家(马拉维,马里,塞内加尔和坦桑尼亚)的交易级出口数据,探讨成功进入出口市场的决定因素,定义为生存超过第一年的公司产品目的地一级。我们发现,成功的概率上升的数量相同的国家的公司出口相同的产品到同一目的地,这表明存在跨公司的外部性。我们探讨了这些外部性的决定因素,并提供证据表明,信息溢出,可能通过银行系统介导的几个approaches。
Using a new dataset with transaction-level export data from four African countries (Malawi, Mali, Senegal and Tanzania), this paper explores the determinants of success upon entry into export markets, defined as survival beyond the first year at the firm-product-destination level. We find that the probability of success rises with the number of same-country firms exporting the same product to the same destination, suggesting the existence of cross-firm externalities. We explore several conjectures on the determinants of these externalities and provide evidence suggestive of information spillovers, possibly mediated through the banking system.
