| Summary: | This review of the empirical literature
shows that industries with more intense domestic competition
will export more. Competition law enforcement can be traced
to export performance and is complementary to trade reforms.
Pro-competition market regulation that reduces restrictions
and promotes competition, where it is viable, is an
important determinant for trade. The elimination of barriers
to entry and rivalry, and a level playing field in upstream
sectors contributes to export competitiveness in downstream
manufacturing sectors. In some sectors, effective
competition policy can directly lower trade costs. |
