Abstract
International trade is once again in the focus of the world community. Wether it is a contraction in cargo shipping pointing to a reduction in the pace of globalisation or Donald Trump threatening or actually withdrawing from yet another agreement.

We tend to look at these issues from a policy point of view but what about the firms who actually trade? How do they react to international trade and what firm characteristics play a decisive role?
We will look at these issues and try to answer try to answer today’s questions with economical methods.
