ESRI Research Seminar "Firm Export Dynamics and the Geography of Trade"
Venue: The ESRI, Whitaker Square, Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2
Date: 22/11/2007
Time: 4 p.m.
Speaker: Martina Lawless, Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland.
Two recent trends in international economics have been an increased focus on the geography of trade (e.g. what factors determine where a country exports to) and the emergence of empirical work examining firm-level data on exporting activity. However, data limitations have prevented there being much progress in combining these two areas, because very few countries provide firm-level data breaking down firm exports by their destination. This paper uses a unique survey of Irish exporting firms over a five year period to fill some of the gaps in this empirical literature. With information on over fifty destinations, firm-level changes in market coverage and their contribution to net export growth are investigated.
