Policy Relevant Information Spillovers in Export Markets (Magnus T. Buus Jakob R. Munch Joel Rodrigue Georg Schaur)
abstract
Employing firm-level export support data from the Danish Trade Council (TC), this paper uses a moment inequality estimation approach to establish that: (i) TC supported firms have better export market information than unsupported firms, (ii) unsupported peers of supported firms indirectly gain export information through firm networks, (iii) information spillovers increase total manufacturing exports from the Danish machinery industry by 1-2 percent per year.
