The purpose of this paper is to investigate the levels of extensive (wider set of goods) and intensive (larger quantities of each good) margins for 126 countries grouped by income and development hierarchies.
Design/methodology/approach
Analysis of variance and the coefficient of variation were used to find similarities and differences between and within the groups of countries.
Findings
Results show that the extensive margin accounts for a large share of exports of rich countries.
Originality/value
