      Abstract

      This paper aims to analyze how credit constraints affect the chances to export from firms in eighteen countries in Latin America. The study used data from 7,764
      industrial firms and a non-linear probability model (probit) was used the estimation.
      The results indicate that credit access is positively associated with the decision of the
      firms get into the international market, which confirm the influence of financial constraints on the probability of firms becoming exporter. It was also found that larger firms
      and with foreign share in the capital structure are more likely to export.
