Why more West than East German firms export

    Research output: Working paperWorking papers

    Abstract

    Using unique new data and a recently introduced non-linear decomposition technique this paper shows that the huge difference in the propensity to export between West and East German plants is to a large part due to differences in firm size and human capital intensity.
