Abstract

I analyze the characteristics of exporting firms in knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) firms in Basque Country. I show that the share of exporting firms in KIBS is much higher than in other services, although lower than in manufacturing. Exporters of KIBS have lower trade intensities than exporters of manufactures, but exports are less concentrated within firms than in this latter industry. The data shows that exporting firms in KIBS are larger than non-exporters in sales, employment, labor productivity and wages per employee. Compared to manufacturing firms, the export premia in KIBS is especially salient regarding wages per employee, suggesting that quality of the service is a key factor to participate in foreign markets.
