On the Relationship between Export Activity and Size
Abstract
Together with the general and sector environment and various internal factors,firm size is one of the main groups of factors determining export activity.However, few works have examined this aspect, with the studies of Alonso andDonoso (1994, 1998) standing out in the Spanish case. The objective of thisempirical work is, on the one hand, to describe the size of non-consolidatedexporting Spanish SMEs or those not exporting but interested in export and, onthe other hand, to assess the possible relationships between export activity andthe size and other demographic characteristics of the firms participating in thisstudy.
