Abstract
⺠I show that the geographic expansion of firm exports occurs slowly over time. ⺠A large share of exports are due to exporters entering new (to them) destinations. ⺠I develop a dynamic model of learning to export, which captures the entry patterns. ⺠The proposed model performs better than alternative specifications of learning. ⺠Understanding exporter composition policies can better target firms and destinations.
