Abstract: | Recent research has sought to explore whether exporting enterprises have superior performance characteristics relative to
non-exporters, and whether such superiority is associated with performance pre- and/or post-exporting. This paper extends
existing research by examining the influence of export market destination on firm performance. It explores these issues using
micro data on Irish manufacturing between 1991 and 1998, a time period during which Ireland experienced rapid export-driven
growth. The study provides further evidence of the superior characteristics of exporters relative to non-exporters and supports
the self-selection hypothesis that superior enterprises are more likely to export. We find export destination matters: the
performance characteristics of enterprises that export globally differ from those that export locally.
