La hetereogeneidad de las empresas y la exportación

Abstract

[eng] This paper analyzes the textile firms located in Germany, France and United Kingdom from 1991 to 2015, using data from OSIRIS database. On the one hand, we are going to analyze among others, why firms export, and which proportion represent this exports over the sector shipments. But on the other hand, we are not just going to focus over exports, as it could be interesting to realize how this exports interact with other general factors, with the hole sector. So, we are not going just to study the exporting behavior, and the intensity of these exports, as we will consider too, which variables will influence the total number of shipments a firm can have, and what a firm should consider if it wants to increase its profits. Our analysis will be based over the German, English and French textile sectors, focusing on the CNAE – 2009: 13.1 (preparation and spinning of textile fibers), 13.2 (weaving of textiles), 14.1 (manufacture of wearing apparel, except fur apparel) and 14.3 (manufacture of knitted and crocheted apparel). Trying to get all the interesting information related to exports and firm heterogeneity.
