Article Citation Count: Babuşçu, S...et al. (2019). "Sector-level competition and export: Evidence from Exporter Dynamics Database", Journal of International Commerce, Economics and Policy, Vol. 10, No. 3.Sector-level competition and export: Evidence from Exporter Dynamics Database(2019) Babuşcu, Şenol; Hazar, A.; Solakoğlu, Mehmet Nihat; Tunç, C.; 161529We study the effect of sector-level competition on export by utilizing the Exporter Dynamics Database of the World Bank that provides sector-level competition measure along with destination-specific detailed export data. The results of the analysis show a nonlinear effect of sector-level competition on export. While at less competitive sectors, an increase in competition depresses export, at highly competitive sectors, an increase in competition generates a trade-promoting effect on export. The observed nonlinear effect is robust across sectors and countries. Therefore, productivity of peer firms could generate negative effect on a firm's export performance contrary to the usual positive effect of a firm's own productivity. © 2019 World Scientific Publishing Company.
