Why is it that exporter productivity premia (EPP) differ so widely in size? We take this question to the theory and to the data. We derive the sectoral EPP in a standard heterogeneous firms trade model and apply the insights from the model to 13 years of data for all Danish manufacturing firms....

This paper provides a direct test of how fixed export costs and productivity jointly determine firm-level export … behavior. Using Chilean data, we construct indices of fixed export costs for each industry-region-year triplet and match them … to domestic firms. Our empirical results show that firms facing higher fixed export costs are less likely to export …
