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 Zambia'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	1,726	2011
Firm entry rate	49.9%	2011
Firm exit rate	50.6%	2011
Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale)	0.130	2011
Product categories exported (distinct HS4 codes)	877	2011

Entrant survival curve — 2010 cohort of new exporting firms: 31.2% 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).

Top product categories among Zambia's exporting firms by number of exporters, 2011 — each row is a real, separately-reported HS2 product category, never combined with another.
