This paper analyzes the impact of exporting on firms’ adoption of more sophisticated technologies, using a novel dataset, the Firm-level Adoption of Technology survey, which includes more than 1,500 firms in Brazil. The survey provides detailed information on the use of more than 300 tech- nologies, combined with data from Brazil’s census of formal workers and export data from the Ministry of Trade. To  address critical endogeneity concerns, the analysis applies difference-in-differences with multiple periods to examine the effects of entering export markets on technology adop- tion. The findings show that exporting has a positive effect on firms’ likelihood of adopting advanced technologies in business functions related to business administration, pro- duction planning, supply chain management, and quality control, which are important for managing tasks associated with export activities.
