https://doi.org/10.17747/2618-947X-2019-3-262-273
Abstract
This review makes a significant contribution to the study of the “learning-by-exporting” effect. The article offers a detailed overview of the various views and studies on the subject. The work helps to review the evolution in the field of learning-by-exporting research through bibliometric analysis. Thirdly, this paper focuses on the most cited publications, as well as on the work of the last two or three years. Also, this article discusses the relationship between the learning-by-exporting and the self-selection hypothesis.
