'Distance from the core' and new export survival: Evidence from Chilean exporters

Abstract

An important part of aggregate export growth is due to firms adding new varieties to their export baskets. We contribute to the literature on export flow survival by showing that a measure of the 'distance' between a new export and the previous export basket is a significant determinant of the survival of a new firm-product export flow. We present evidence suggesting that the measure we use is a good proxy for the theoretical 'distance from the core' in Eckel and Neary (2010), and that it is capturing technological, rather than demand complementarities across products.
