Does a crisis increase the number of regular exporters?
ABSTRACTThe severe reduction in domestic demand between 2008 and 2013 in Spain led many firms to start exporting. We explore whether the increase in the new crisis-induced exporters led to a larger...
The contribution of granular and fundamental comparative advantage to European Union countries' export specialisation
This paper analyses the contribution of fundamental comparative advantage (a country‐specific component) and granular comparative advantage (a firm‐specific component) to European Union countries' export specialisation. We find that, on average, granular comparative advantage may explain export specialisation in 29% of industries, which account for 47% of total exports. We also show that 60% of the variation in export specialisation across countries and industries may be explained by granular comparative advantage. These results highlight that some outstanding firms may play a very important role in explaining European Union countries' export specialisation.

Los márgenes del crecimiento de las exportaciones españolas antes y después de la Gran Recesión
espanolDespues de la Gran Recesion de 2008-2009, la evolucion de las exportaciones espanolas ha sido positiva. Algunos analistas atribuyen este comportamiento al incremento de la base exportadora. Para validar esta hipotesis, realizamos una descomposicion del crecimiento de las exportaciones espanolas por margenes en el periodo 1997-2015. Los datos muestran que la contribucion de la base exportadora ha disminuido paulatinamente durante todo el intervalo analizado, incluso en el periodo posterior a la Gran Recesion. Ademas, la evolucion de la base exportadora se caracteriza por una caida paulatina tanto de la tasa de supervivencia de las empresas entrantes como del valor por transaccion de l…
Export markets: substitutes, complements, or independent?
Using a large sample of export transactions in Spain over the period 2010–2017, we explore whether firms treat export markets as substitutes, complements, or independent. We find that an exogenous ...
The Variation of Export Prices Across and within Firms
This paper uses transaction-level trade data to analyse the differences in export prices across and within Spanish manufacturing firms in the year 2014. The transactional nature of the database uncovers sizable differences in the price that an exporter charges for the same product and destination. These differences are related to the number of goods covered within each product category, volume discounts and vertically differentiated varieties. Export prices are positively correlated with firms’ productivity, destination markets’ GDP per capita and distance to Spain. These latter results suggest that Spanish exporters compete in quality.

New exporters benefit more from information spillovers
Using the universe of Spanish export transactions over 2000–2012, this paper explores empirically whether the choice of destinations among experienced and new exporters is affected by the number an...
Why firms set different export prices? Evidence from Spain
Using firm-level export data for the 2010–2014 period, we investigate the variation of export prices across and within Spanish manufacturing firms. We find that more productive firms set higher exp...
