Abstract

This article addresses sequential entry decisions in export markets. It focuses on externalities derived from previous export activity in countries close to those for which a potential entry decision is made ( geographical spillovers ) and externalities derived from previous presence of other firms in the same industry ( industrial spillovers ). The empirical analysis uses Spanish microdata for the period 2000-2010 in a firm decision model that also integrates country and industry characteristics. The results suggest that these two types of spillovers have a positive effect in explaining entry decisions in new export markets, though both are smaller in magnitude than the effects coming from previous presence in the same specific destination.
