1. Number of products that would be present in a plant if sales were evenly distributed across all products.

Notes: P-values are in parentheses and are corrected for heteroskedasticity. All models are estimated using Model 4 from Tables 6 through 8 using subsets of exporters and non-exporters. Only the coefficients for export intensity and its regional interaction terms are presented. The same set of 239 census divisions are used for the estimation as in previous estimations. However, because there were years when some census divisions either had no exporters or non-exporters, the number of observations is reduced by a small amount. As such, the models are estimated using a (slightly) unbalanced panel.
