Historical Exporter Dynamics

Historical dataset — World Bank Exporter Dynamics Database, 1997–2014, frozen. The World Bank has not published a newer edition; this never updates.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Costa Rica's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories.

Metric	Latest value	Year
Number of exporting firms	4,100	2012
Firm entry rate	40.2%	2012
Firm exit rate	39.5%	2012
Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale)	0.046	2012
Product categories exported (distinct HS4 codes)	1,009	2012

Entrant survival curve — 2011 cohort of new exporting firms: 28.6% still exporting after 1 year — later years not yet available for this cohort (the World Bank vintage ends before enough time passed to observe them).
