      abstract = {This article analyzes the export participation of Chilean  farms and the relative importance of farm-specific and  geographic characteristics in this decision. An export  behavior model is estimated using data on 8,284 Chilean  farms and a two-stage conditional maximum likelihood  procedure. Farm efficiency has a relatively stronger effect  than the combined effect of geographic characteristics in  increasing the probability of export participation. Farms  with skilled (managerial) labor and in regions with higher  human capital also have a relatively higher probability of  producing for the export market. However, for geographic  characteristics to positively affect export participation,  farms must achieve a minimum level of efficiency.},
