| Summary: | Recent literature has shown evidence of
positive contributions of export promotion agencies around
the world in raising exports, through the intensive and
extensive margins of trade. The number of export promotion
agencies has increased substantially over the past two
decades, and most of them focus on assisting exporters in
understanding and finding markets for their products. This
paper describes the characteristics of export promotion
agencies around the world, using a novel database from the
World Bank, in collaboration with the International Trade
Center in Geneva, covering 2005-10. In addition, it presents
a short summary of the literature on the impacts of export
promotion agencies. |
