Abstract

Over the period of 1995-2005 an increasing number of differentiated products have been exported from developing countries, and much of the growth in world trade at the extensive margin has come from these countries. Leading examples of this type of trade expansion, both in terms of products and new markets, have been two groups of dynamic economies known collectively as the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and the MINTs (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria,and Turkey). Using bilateral trade data of 129 countries over 144 products, we study the determinants of the success of these countries in expanding market access at the product level. We estimate a logit model based on the heterogeneous-Â…rm model at the product level for each year and fiÂ…nd evidence that BRIC and MINT country success in accessing foreign markets is due to productivity growth of industries, probably engendered by firm-level technological advance of existing fiÂ…rms or entry of foreign Â…firms that have begun to produce in and export from those countries.
