Abstract
We study the presence of spillover effects on three exporting decisions (likelihood, quantity, propensity) of Chilean manufacturing firms during the period 2001-2004. Evidence suggests that Chilean firm's export likelihood is positively affected by other domestic firms' exports. In contrast, exports by MNEs operating in Chile negatively affect Chilean firm's export likelihood, althoughMNE-employment generates positive spillover effects, suggesting externalities in human capital. We also find evidence of spillovers from MNE activity on the proportion of production the firm exports (export propensity), but not on how much they decide to export (export quantity).
