The results of a two-step system GMM method show that leverage has a negative relationship to export intensity. We find evidence that a firm's age negatively impacts the export sales to total sales ratio, while profitability has a positive connection with it. Finally, we note that board size exhibits a negative relationship with export intensity. These findings suggest important policy implications for export promotion, specifically for a small-open economy.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPerformanceLeveragecorporate governanceheterogeneous firmsImpactexport intensityF23PerformanceG32ImpactG38ArticleWOS:00086364180000110.1080/13504851.2022.21301402-s2.0-85139229060Q3Q3
