Our contribution is to disentangle the impact of export and import barriers, estimated as border effects within a multilateral context. A fall in export barriers is positively correlated with plant productivity in traded sectors. The reduction of import barriers, however, can only be associated to productivity improvements in export-oriented sectors. In import-competing sectors a robust positive correlation shows up between plant productivity and protection. We then test several channels linking trade integration and firm productivity.}, keywords = {export; productivity; Handelshemmnis; Wirtschaftsbeziehungen; import; Chile; Handel; Produktivität; trade barrier; commerce; Entwicklungsland; Chile; Export; economic relations; developing country; Import}}
