We analyze how labor diversity affects a firm's internationalization process. The composition of the labor force matters along two dimensions for the export behavior of firms. First, labor diversity may raise firm productivity and thus the export propensity. Secondly, it may increase the managerial and organizational ability of the firm, because it faces the challenge of diversity management, and thereby reduces the firm's fixed cost of exporting.
