Firms’ Financial Health was Key to Avoid Export Market Exit in the Global Financial Crisis

27th October 2017

KCG Secretary

News

The volume of international trade declined dramatically during the global financial crisis of 2008-09. Since then several explanations have been proposed for this sudden trade collapse. These include a fall in global demand, reviving trade protectionism, a domino effect created by global value chains, and the restriction in external finance for firms. Uncovering the contribution of these various causes to the severity of the trade collapse is crucial to understand the functioning of the global trade system and to mitigate the effects of future economic crises..[…]

KCG Working Paper No. 4: Export Market Exit and Financial Health in Crises Periods

19th October 2017

KCG Secretary

Authors: Holger Görg and Marina-Eliza Spaliara

This paper uses rich firm-level data for the UK to investigate the link between firms’ financial health and export exit, paying attention to the ERM currency crisis and the global financial crisis. Our results show that deterioration in the financial position of firms has increased the hazard of export exit during the 2007-09 crisis but has no significant effect on the early 1990s crisis. We also explore the extent to which firms in financially vulnerable industries face greater sensitivity of export exit to financial conditions. We conclude that firms in sectors with great reliance on external finance experience higher hazards of exiting the export market during the 2007-09 crisis..[…]
