Abstract
⺠Exporters have been singled out by the World Bank as using state-of-art technology (Ferro, 2011). ⺠We examine the creation of new process/product innovations by newly exporting firms. ⺠Newly exporting firms are more likely to upgrade manufacturing processes by 11%. ⺠But the push into exporting is mainly driven by productivity differences between firms. ⺠Have new exporters aligned production to satisfy foreign customers and cut costs?
