Abstract

In the ‘pure’ neoclassical theory of international trade there is no reason for analysing the determinants of export performance at the level of the firm. Its assumption of perfectly competitive goods and factor markets ensures that all firms are identical within an industry. As a consequence, if a country enjoys a comparative advantage in the production of a good, all national firms will share the same competitive edge.
