dc.description.otherNew exporters tend to export less and to exit markets more often. Despite significant sunk costs of exporting, the rate of survival in the first year of a product in a market is very low. In this paper we investigate empirically the determinants for this behavior using export and import transactions panel data from Colombia. Our data shows that only 30% of new exporting varieties survive after one year. We examine how survival relates to product characteristics and the role of synergies among firms and products. The main contribution of this paper is to examine whether changes in the volume imported by the exporting firm increase export survival. We use the countries of origin specific exchange rate index weighted by each firm’s share of import in the previous period as instruments for the imports of Colombian firms. The main result shows that a one standard deviation increase in imports of intermediate products increases the probability of export survival after the first year by 20 percentage points.pt_BR
