The purpose of this paper is to analyze the entry of Argentinian industry firms to external markets with different degrees of development. For this, the ENDEI database is used, which has employment and innovation activities information, of a sector and size stratified sample of 3,691 firms, as well as the foreign trade database of Argentinian Customs. Two models are estimated: an ordered probit model, in which ordering is associated with the number and complexity of markets in which firms operate and a model of export diversification, considering Poisson distribution for the number of exported products. The results show that firms that export to markets of greater complexity or have a more diversified export in terms of products, show more intensive production in technology and skilled labor, are more strongly involved in cooperation networks with public and private institutions and import inputs and new technologies from other countries.
