Firms take their exporting decisions in each possible destination country influenced by their previous exporting experiences in similar countries. An exporter is more likely to expand at both the extensive and intensive margin in a particular market if it has previously exported to a destination that is similar to it. I denote this pattern of behavior of exporting firms as extended gravity. Using a structural model of export dynamics and applying a moment inequality approach to a panel data set of Chilean firms, I show in the first chapter of this dissertation that extended gravity is an important determinant of firms' exporting behavior. The chapters two and three complement this first chapter. In chapter two, I provide a general framework for estimating the structural parameters of dynamic single agent models using moment inequalities. This framework permits to perform inference on model parameters that are computationally very costly to estimate using maximum likelihood. The third chapter shows evidence in favor of extended gravity in aggregate bilateral trade data. Using techniques borrowed from the spatial econometrics literature, I estimate a gravity equation that accounts for spatial correlation in trade flows coming from extended gravity. The results show that dealing with this source of interdependence among trade flows is important when estimating gravity equation systems.
