This paper examines the export behavior
of Dominican Republic exporters following the implementation
of the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade
Agreement in 2007. Using a firm-level dataset for 2002-2009,
the authors investigate the effects of a tariff reduction on
the extensive margin. The analysis distinguishes the impact
on the entry of new firms, exports of new products, and
entry into the Agreement s markets. The paper analyzes
whether the agreement prevents incumbent exporters from
exiting the market. The results suggest that tariff cuts had
a positive although very small effect on the extensive
margin. A decline in tariffs also seems to reduce the
probability of exit, but the effect is also small. The
evidence calls for complementary policies aiming at helping
exporters maximize the benefits of the agreement. |
