We examine the characteristics of successful new exporters using a panel of
Slovenian manufacturing firms in the period 1994-2010. The focus of the
monograph is to identify the most important determinants of successful
export performance after the start of exporting. We identify and
characterize successful new exporters that increase their geographical
presence and exhibit healthy export growth in the periods after the
beginning of exporting. These firms are compared with unsuccessful new
exporters in order to give us information on the critical characteristics that
drive the survival and growth of new exporters in their first few years of
exporting. We also examine export-strategy related factors that can be
traced out of the available trade data: how many markets do successful
new exporters begin with, how fast do they grow on the extensive margin
(adding new export markets), what is their export growth on existing
markets, what kind of geographical sequencing they choose on average,
how many distinct export products they begin with, what is the growth of
the range of products over time, how concentrated are their exports across
markets and across product categories, what is their import pattern in
terms of geographical spread and product variety, and last but not least,
how do all these strategies differ from the failed new exporters.
