TLDR
A growing body of empirical work has documented the superior performance characteristics of exporting plants and firms relative to non-exporters as discussed by the authors, showing that good firms become exporters, both growth rates and levels of success measures are higher ex-ante for exporters.About:

Trade Integration, Firm Selection and the Costs of Non-Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calibrate and simulate a multi-country multi-sector model with monopolistic competition and variable markups using firm-level data and aggregate trade figures on a panel of 11 EU countries.

Effects of Tariffs and Real Exchange Rates on Job Reallocation: Evidence from Latin America
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the impact of the removal of protectionism on net employment and gross job reallocation in Latin America and find a robust pattern showing that reductions in tariffs and exchange rate appreciations increase the pace of job re-allocation within sectors.

Regulatory heterogeneity as obstacle for international services trade
Henk L.M. Kox,Arjan Lejour +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new index of bilateral policy heterogeneity was developed and applied to explain service trade among EU countries, and the empirical results support the theoretical prediction: the degree of regulatory heterogeneity is inversely related to the level of bilateral service trade.

Mark J. Roberts,James Tybout +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the effect of prior exporting experience on the decisions of Colombian manufacturing plants to participate in foreign markets and developed a dynamic discrete-choice model of exporting behavior that separates the roles of profit heterogeneity and sunk entry costs in explaining plants' exporting status.

Is "learning-by-exporting" important? Micro-dynamic evidence from Colombia, Mexico and Morocco
TL;DR: The authors analyzed the causal links between exporting and productivity using firm-level panel data from three semi-industrialized countries and found that relatively efficient firms become exporters, but firms' unit costs are not affected by previous export market participation, while the well-known efficiency gap between exporters and non-exporters is due to self-selection of the more efficient firms into the export market, rather than learning by exporting.

Exports and Success in German Manufacturing
Andrew B. Bernard,Joachim Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the role of exporting in German firms' performance and find no positive effects on employment, wage or productivity growth after entry into the export market and conclude that success leads to exporting rather than the reverse.
