Likewise, we find that a firm’s local collaborative intensity is positively related to its export intensity and that both relations are moderated by the firm’s distance from the local network’s center. This study contributes to the literature on how local collaboration may facilitate overcoming export barriers.33 p.DigitalInglêsworking paperpropensity to exportexport intensitynetwork resourcesindustry associationslocal inter-firm collaborationBEWP 118/2011
