Ethnic networks matter for the exporting firm, as they exhibit the potential to lower fixed and variable cost of exporting. This paper provides a first attempt to identify the export-promoting effect of emigration on the firm level. Using detailed Danish firm-level data, we can parsimoniously control for export determinants other than emigration, unobserved heterogeneity at the firm level, as well as for self-selection of firms into exporting. Additionally accounting for taste similarity between Denmark and its trade partners, our findings suggest a positive effect of emigration on Danish manufacturing trade within Europe, thereby corroborating preceding studies on aggregate data. Nevertheless, as a novel insight, our analysis reveals that the only beneficiaries of emigration are small enterprises.\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","jelcode":[155,288],"keyword":[846,911,913,20,912],"class_list":["post-1638","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","jelcode-f16","jelcode-f22","keyword-brain-drain","keyword-emigration","keyword-firm-level-analysis","keyword-international-trade","keyword-small-businesses"],"acf":{"year":2011,"month":6,"day":"","volume":"","number":"070","pages":32,"reviewed":"0","citeid":"FIW_WP_070","fiwseries":"FIW Working Papers","event":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Export Promoting Effect of Emigration: Evidence from Denmark - FIW<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiw.ac.at\/en\/publications\/the-export-promoting-effect-of-emigration-evidence-from-denmark\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Export Promoting Effect of Emigration: Evidence from Denmark - FIW\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The theoretical claim that ethnic networks encourage trade has found broad empirical support in the literature on migration, business networks and international trade.
