Description: This dissertation consists of three essays in international economics, with emphasis on how less developed economies reallocate resources to different export activities. The first essay shows that economies with more flexible export structure tend to recover faster from macroeconomic crises. The second essay explores how new exports [sic] products are "discovered" in an emerging market. The third essay shows that exporter and importer firms are more likely to participate in business associations, remarking the relevance of collective action for firms integrating to the global economy.
