Abstract: The study reviews 97 articles published between 2015 and 2021 to evaluate the measures and determinants of export performance. The vote-counting technique is used to summarise each determinant and measure of export performance. The findings are manifested in the following points: 1) numerous determinants of export performance were identified; 2) explicit conceptual models for export performance were employed; 3) more sophisticated statistical tools were used; 4) interaction and indirect influences of variables on export performance were considered. Despite this, the literature is endemic to certain limitations: 1) diverse set of determinants and a wide variety of constructs makes it challenging to compare results; 2) absence of a holistic conceptual framework that accounts for all aspects of export drivers; 3) lack of consensus regarding the conceptualisation and measurement of export performance constructs. The study also highlights fertile areas for future research to understand the multifaceted export performance concept.
