Description:Based on data on Costa Rican exports for the period 2000–2008, broken down by firm, exported products, and destination markets, this study seeks to identify the factors related to a firm’s decisions that increase or decrease the likelihood of exiting the foreign market. This study quantifies the impact of a series of factors, using a survival rate that weights the years of export activity by the duration of transactions and the number of times each firm exited the foreign market. A survival analysis of exporting firms operating in Costa Rica is presented, based on a Cox proportional hazards model and the Kaplan-Meier estimator. The study confirms the importance of export diversification for the survival of exporting firms.
