Abstract
Although Chilean exports have performed well in recent decades, they are still largely confined to a few products, a few markets and a small number of firms. The present paper explores this last point, discussing the export behaviour of companies. The main stylized facts are as follows: only a small group of firms are capable of exporting on a permanent basis, and these companies are much larger and have much higher levels of productivity and human capital than the rest.
