Identifying concerns of SME exporters is needed for creating better policies. This paper assesses factors determining SMEs decision to export (export propensity) as well as variables that affect export value (export intensity). Results show that firm size is significant for both export propensity and export value; a higher percentage of foreign ownership increases the probability of a firm exporting; and human capital, access to finance and shipping are other determining factors.1 digital file (61 p.)application/pdfenSMALL ENTERPRISESFOREIGN OWNERSHIPEXPORT ORIENTED INDUSTRIESMANUFACTURINGTRADE BARRIERSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSCOMPETITIVENESSECONOMETRICSHUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPHILIPPINESFAR EAST ASIASynthesis Report
