We rationalize this fact in a model where … firms are initially uncertain about how successful they are as exporters, but learn their export profitability as they keep … they become sufficiently confident about their export prospects, i.e., once they acquire enough export experience.

This paper investigates the impact of restrictive TBTs on firms' extensive margins (export participation and exit … probability), intensive margins (export value) and pricing strategy (export price). To this end, product-level restrictive TBTs … and firm-level export are combined and an instrumental-variable approach is utilized. The results show that the imposition …

According to the Melitz (2003) model, potential exporters have to be … productive enough to overcome the entry costs of foreign markets. Once firms pass this productivity threshold, they all export …
