This paper examines export market entry behavior and export intensity of Turkish manufacturing firms. It tries to explain what kind of firm characteristics, domestic constraints, market properties or regional conditions affect export or do not export decision and export intensity levels of firms. Size and productivity, informal competitors in sector, industrial and regional properties are found influential in both decisions. Age, number of competitors in the market, customs regulations and crime in the country are effective on export intensity level. Tax administration is only influential on export market entry decisions of firms.
