In this paper we examine to what extent developing countries export more as a result of
having the official Least Developed Country (LDC) status. We estimate a gravity model
of trade over the period 1973–2013, in which identification is achieved by exploiting
the particularities and asymmetries of ‘inclusion’ and ‘graduation’ criteria of LDC status. As mechanisms through which LDCs might benefit, we evaluate the effectiveness
of individual trade preference schemes for LDCs of the European Union, United States,
Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Turkey and the impact of LDC status on exports. We find that first, individual trade preference regimes are not always
beneficial in terms of increased export values. Export promoting effects are found for
the individual schemes of some developed countries and some sectors. Second, a country’s official designation as a LDC is associated with higher aggregated exports. This
is particularly the case for LDCs that export agricultural goods and light manufacturing products, including textiles and leather after 1990. Third, the positive effect of
LDC status is significant and sizable even when controlling for specific trade preference schemes suggesting that there are other benefits of LDC status that play a role
in promoting exports. [-]
