Through country case studies as well as econometric analysis, this book attempts to identify the factors that have helped developing countries succeed in exporting services. It examines strategies that have been successful as well as those that have not delivered expected results..

This study seeks to identify the determinants of Brazil's favourable export performance until the mid-1980s, especially in the field of manufactured goods. Two hypotheses figure prominently in the analysis. The export success may be due to Brazil's specialization in industries which made intensive use of the country's relatively abundant productive factors. Alternatively, economic policies may be responsible for the success in manufactured exports.

This thesis investigates determinants of economic growth and export performance of landlocked developing countries (LLDCs). It consists of three research papers enveloped in a stage-setting introductory chapter and a concluding chapter which summarises the key findings and draws policy inferences. The three research papers are written in the form of self-contained essays, but taken together the findings indicate that even though landlockedness hampers a country's economic growth in many ways, economic policy has the potential to minimise these adverse effects: landlockedness is not destiny. The first paper examines the impact of landlockedness on economic growth using a panel dataset covering 214 countries, including 34 landlocked developing countries, over the period 1980 - 2009. The key focus of the analysis is on the role of openness to foreign trade in determining differences in growth performance between landlocked developing countries as a group and other developing countries, and among landlocked countries themselves. The results indicate that generally landlockedness hampers economic growth, but landlocked countries have the potential to grow faster through greater openness to foreign trade, and through carrying out institutional reforms to improve the quality of governance, which help reducing trade costs. The second paper examines the determinants of export performance of developing countries, with emphasis on the implications of landlockedness, using a panel dataset covering the period from 1995 to 2010. The analysis is conducted within the standard gravity modelling framework. The results indicate that although landlockedness has a significant negative impact on export performance, landlocked countries which have embarked on trade policy reforms perform significantly better than their non-reforming counterparts. There is also evidence that African LLDCs have maintained relatively higher export performance compared to other LLDCs. The third paper is a case study of export performance of a selected landlocked country, Nepal. Following an analytical narrative of export performance over the past three decades against the backdrop of policy reforms and the changing political climate, the paper examines the determinants of export performance within the gravity modelling framework using a product-level (at the three digit level of the Standard International Trade classification) panel dataset covering Nepal's export to the top 20 trading partners over the period from 1980 to 2010. The analysis distinguishes between Nepalese exports to India and to third country markets, in order to identify a possible 'big-neighbour' effect (Gulliver-effect) on export performance of a landlocked country. The results support the hypothesis that exports of high-value-to-weight products generally grow faster, because trade costs resulting from landlockedness has a fewer adverse effects on these products. Real exchange rate appreciation resulting from the fixed parity of the Nepalese rupee with the Indian rupee adversely affects Nepalese exports to third-country markets. The relatively faster growth of exports to India is partly due to the re-direction of imports by Indian companies via Nepal in order to benefit from significant tariff differences between Nepal and India relating to some products.

Landlockedness imposes additional costs on trade and reduces international competitiveness. This paper examines the determinants of export performance in developing countries, within a comparative perspective of landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and non-landlocked developing countries, by using a standard gravity modeling framework. The study covers data from 1995 to 2015. The results suggest that despite recent trade policy reforms, the overall export performance of LLDCs is lower than that of non-landlocked developing countries due to the inherent additional trade costs associated with landlockedness. The conventional wisdom that export performance is aided by economic openness also applies to LLDCs, but distance-related trade costs have a greater negative impact on exports from LLDCs than on other developing countries. The immediate trade policy challenge for LLDCs is therefore to create a more trade-friendly environment by lowering tariffs, reforming exchange rates and entering into regional trade agreements.

Although Latin American and Caribbean countries have assigned a high priority to increasing exports, export performance in most cases remains deficient. This work investigates why this is so, identifying the policies that determine successes and failures in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.
