Notes: Refer to Table 2 for details of industry group codes. ∂p/ ∂x are marginal effects for each independent variable on the propensity to export (for binary
variables, these are the effects of a discrete change from 0 to 1) and their corresponding Z statistics. Missing results for any region (e.g. Northern Ireland) is due to
too few observations (leading to estimation problems); the South East region comprises the benchmark. SIC industry dummies were included but not reported in the
table.
