Abstract
This paper testes the hypothesis of sunk exporting costs differing among markets and how this hypothesis differs depending on firm�s productivity and size. The authors uses a sample of Spanish firms from Encuesta sobre Estrategias Empresariales (ESEE) for the period 1990-2002. The results confirmed the importance of those sunk costs and demonstrate that they differ depending on the market firms export to and on firm�s size. Moreover, the effect of firm�s productivity on the export decision depends on the export market and it is especially relevant for more advanced markets such as the EU.
