Abstract

"The value of exports from Germany dropped considerably after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Against this background, we use data from an IAB establishment survey to assess the effects that the pandemic has on exporters. Our results show that, on average, exporters are not more likely to report negative consequences than non-exporters. However, establishments that export into countries outside the EU and the UK more often report to have been negatively affected, at least during the early months of the pandemic. At the same time, this group of exporters is also more likely to have sufficient liquidity, to have recently hired rather than laid off workers and to have made an application to the federally funded support schemes." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
