We study the effect of innovation on a firm's propensity to export, developing a simple model where heterogeneous firms operate in a monopolistically competitive market and set their prices as a markup above the marginal cost. The key proposition of our model is that firms that invest in better quality products are more likely to export. We test it using Italian firms' data. Econometric results suggest that innovation, defined as quality upgrading, has a significant effect on the firms' propensity to export; and, for those who are already exporting, innovation-defined as new products-has a significant effect on a firm's turnover.
