“…The first component of export growth is already defined as intensive margin. As Ekmen and Erlat (2014) documented, the methodology of Amiti and Freund (2010) is helpful to examine the export growth of a country over time, rather than cross‐country comparison. In line with that, the current study also allows using of the World Integrated Trade Solutions (WITS) Trade Outcomes data, which extends the approach of Amiti and Freund (2010) by taking into account the changes in existing export flows (increases, decreases, and extinctions) and introducing new products and destinations.…”

This study examines how developing and the least developed countries (LDCs) can foster export diversification by considering trade facilitation as an effective policy option. Unlike previous studies, this paper constructs composite indicators—namely, hard and soft factors of trade facilitation—to better clarify which trade facilitation aspect is a matter of priority. Also, it uses the number of products and markets based on Harmonized System (HS) six‐digit level as export diversification measures. Finally, it investigates the differentiated impacts of hard and soft factors on export diversification in the LDCs. For the period 2007–17 and 92 countries, the results reveal that border efficiency promotes variety in products and markets, and the availability and quality of infrastructure enhances variety in markets for the whole sample of countries. Moreover, strengthening the availability and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) plays a significant role in the LDCs' export diversification.

“…La definición propuesta por la UNCTAD resalta el carácter multidimensional del concepto de competitividad e incluye al proceso de diversificación de las exportaciones como un componente clave en la determinación de niveles de competitividad reales en los países en desarrollo. Las mejoras en la competitividad externa de los países en desarrollo no solo vienen dadas por incrementos de los ingresos provenientes de ventas al exterior, sino que también requieren la exportación de nuevas variedades de productos mediante el aumento de la canasta de ventas al exterior y la reducción de la dependencia con respecto a las exportaciones tradicionales (Ekmen y Erlat, 2014).…”

La competitividad es un tema importante tanto para los gobiernos y organismos multilaterales como a los sectoresempresariales y académicos, la cual, es un factor esencial para el crecimiento y desarrollo de un país. En esteartículo se plantea un modelo que ayude a explicar el comportamiento de la competitividad de la industriamanufacturera de México y sus principales competidores en el mercado estadounidense a partir de laproductividad, la incertidumbre económica, el tipo de cambio y las exportaciones. Utilizando la metodología dedatos panel, las series muestran que tienen dependencia de sección cruzada, son integradas de orden uno y unarelación de equilibrio a largo plazo entre las variables. Además, la incertidumbre afecta manera negativa a lacompetitividad, mientras que mayores niveles de productividad, tipo de cambio real y de exportaciones generanmayores niveles de competitividad de estos países en el mercado de Estados Unidos.

“…In countries that follow an export-led growth strategy, policymakers prefer to increase exports through the first channel because they want to minimize the hitches and risks that arise from changes in export products' prices and the composition of global demand. Therefore, in developing countries, export product diversification has become the focal point of the development economics literature (Ekmen and Erlat, 2013). Export product diversification can affect exports directly and indirectly through many various channels.…”
