摘要：In this study, we explore the role of export spillovers on the capacity of French
firms to conquer Asian markets. We confirm, in the context of France, previous
results emphasizing the positive impact of surrounding exporters on the probability
that a firm starts exporting a given product to a given country. We find that export
spillovers are more important for export starts to Asia than for export starts to other
countries. Moreover, for the specific Asian destinations, we find evidence of a
heterogeneous effect of export spillovers. The presence of surrounding exporting
firms appears especially beneficial to small and less productive firms, and more
intense for export starts to Asian countries characterized by low GDP per capita
and tough administrative procedures on imports. Hence, export spillovers may help
small firms to enter on the most difficult Asian markets.
