A note on churning of exporters and dynamics of exports : evidence from panel data for 69 countries

Wagner, Joachim - 2026 - This version: February 12, 2026

This short note looks at the link between churning of exporters and dynamics of exports using data from the World Bank Exporter Dynamics Database from 69 countries primarily for the period between 2003 and 2010. In line with Schumpetarian theory of creative destruction we report that a higher...

Firm characteristics and survival in times of COVID 19 : first evidence from Kernel Regularized Least Squares regressions

Wagner, Joachim - 2025 - This version: June 13, 2025

This paper uses firm level data from the World Bank Enterprise surveys conducted in 2019 and from the COVID-19 follow-up surveys conducted in 2020 in eight European countries to investigate the link between firm characteristics before the pandemic and firm survival until 2020. For the first time...

Firm characteristics of two-way traders : evidence from Probit vs. Kernel-Regularized Least Squares regressions

Wagner, Joachim - 2025 - This version: May 23, 2025

Firm characteristics in empirical models for margins of international trade usually enter these models in linear form. If non-linearities do matter and are ignored this leads to biased results. Researchers, however, can never be sure that all possible non-linear relationships are taken care of....

Estimation of empirical models for margins of exports with unknown non-linear functional forms : a Kernel-Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) approach

Wagner, Joachim - 2024 - This version: January 17, 2024

Empirical models for intensive or extensive margins of trade that relate measures of exports to firm characteristics are usually estimated by variants of (generalized) linear models. Usually, the firm characteristics that explain these export margins enter the empirical model in linear form,...
