Abstract
Using a large cross-section firm level database containing 79000 firms in greek
economy for 2014, this dissertation estimates the impact of financial factors that
affect exports decisions. Our sample is classified into three size-groups and each
firm is identified with a unique industry code. An econometric study shows a
picture that is consistent with related considerations. Our results highlight the
importance of firms access to external financial resources on their decision to
export. The analysis also suggests that financial constraints dipress selling abroad.
Exporters display higher liquidity and leverage ratio than non-exporters. However,
there is no evidence about ex-ante or ex-post firms’ financial health and how it
could affect the results.
