Abstract
dc.description.abstract
This paper surveys overall export growth in Chile and focuses on three case
studies of the emergence of successful export activities in Chile: wine, pork and
blueberries. Each case study discusses how companies, associations, and
governments at various levels have addressed market failures and facilitated the
provision of public goods necessary for each activity. The case studies
additionally profile first movers in each activity and describe the positive
externalities they provide to imitators, particularly diffusion of export knowledge.
Also included are counterfactual cases of a less successful firm or activity (an
unsuccessful wine exporter, other types of berries, and commodity pork
production rather than custom cuts, respectively) and a discussion of policy
implications.
