Productivity and size of the export market: evidence for West and East German plants 2004

Research output: Working paperWorking papers

Authors

Using unique recently released nationally representative high-quality data at the plant level, this paper presents the first comprehensive evidence on the relationshipm between productivity and size of the export market for Germany, a leading actor on the world market for manufactured goods. It documents that firms that export to countries inside the euro-zone are more productive than firms that sell their products in Germany only, but less productive than firms that export to countries outside the
euro-zone, too. This is in line with the hypothesis that export markets outside the euro-zone have higher entry costs that can only by paid by more productive firms.
