Ethiopian exports growth characteristics, dynamics and survival berihu-asse...Berihu Assefa Gebrehiwot
Using both aggregate and firm-level Customs data, this paper examines Ethiopia’s export performance and dynamics over the period 1995/1996 – 2014/2015 from various dimensions. Specifically, we attempt to address the following issues:
(i) How concentrated/diversified are Ethiopia’s exports in terms of exporters, products, and markets? Or, over the past decade or so, has Ethiopia added economically significant numbers of new products and markets to its export portfolio.
(ii) To what extent do Ethiopian exporters survive beyond their first year of entry to the export market?
(iii) And finally we decompose export growth/contraction into intensive and extensive margins to see what drives export change in Ethiopia.
