Does Export Diversification Lower Growth Volatility? An Empirical Analysis
Öz
This paper, following the recent literature, discussing about the theoretical connections, and applying an empirical analysis, studies the relationship between export diversification and growth volatility. Using several export diversification indices, a large number of countries, various control variables and dynamic panel data methodology, the empirical model present strong evidence on the effects of diversification on volatility. The results show that countries with a diversified export basket experience lower growth volatility. Among diversification indices, intensive margin (more balanced basket of exports) is found to have a stronger negative impact on volatility, rather than extensive margin (number of firms exporting).
