Resumo(s)
For Melitz (2003), the driving force behind a firm’s decision to export is productivity. If firms
pass the productivity cut-off, they all export. Nonetheless, empirical studies show that a
substantial share of high-productive firms do not export. Using a dataset that covers Portuguese
non-financial firms, between 2010 and 2016, we assess which factors determine the export
decision, besides productivity. According to our results, firm’s characteristics, such as size,
turnover, import as well as export status, age, worker skills and knowledge agglomeration, are
crucial in the process of internationalisation of firms.
