Within this field of research we mutuallycompare various official representations abroad and their effects on exportflows. We consider embassies, consulates general and honorary consulatesas commercial diplomacy actors abroad. The main contribution of thepaper is that it is the first empirical study of Ukrainian commercialdiplomacy in terms of export promotion.
