Abstract
Using firm-level transaction data from Taiwan, this study shows that firms that engage in exports alone and import intermediate inputs significantly increase the probability of their survival compared to firms that engage in no external trade. Extending current studies, this study shows that multiproduct and multicountry trading firms are more likely to survive by becoming “leaner and meaner” and trading with a more diverse set of countries.
