This report uses administrative tax data on firm-to-firm trade in Honduras to evaluate the degree of integration between firms receiving export-oriented tax exemptions and the local economy. We present five stylized facts regarding firms' trade networks in Honduras and show that, across several dimensions, the networks of firms in export-oriented regimes do not differ from those of other similarly sized firms. Our findings challenge the idea that export-oriented regimes benefit firms with no connections to the local economy.
