	abstract={18 studies using data from 20 highly developed, developing, and less developed countries
document that average wages in exporting firms are higher than in non-exporting firms from
the same industry and region. The existence of these so-called exporter wage premia is one
of the stylized facts found in the emerging literature on the microeconometrics of international
trade. This paper uses a large and rich set of linked employer-employee data from Germany
to demonstrate that these premia vanish when individual characteristics of the employees
and of the work place are controlled for.},
