“…At the same time, research by Roberts and Tybout (1997), Clerides, Lach, and Tybout (1998), Delgado, Farinˇas, and Ruano (2002), Gupta, Patnaik, and Shah (2018), Melitz (2003), Roberts and Tybout (1997), and Tybout (2003) on the "self-selection" hypothesis has confirmed that firms self-select themselves for the export market.
