Using a unique plant-level dataset we examine total factor productivity (TFP) growth and its components, related to …

This paper provides a direct test of how fixed export costs and productivity jointly determine firm-level export …, while those with higher productivity export more. These outcomes are the foundation of the widely-used sorting mechanism in … the trade models with firm heterogeneity. A particular and novel finding is that high-productivity nonexporters face …
