The paper examines export, productivity and impact on the economy. The aim of the research is to analyse and estimate the exiting relations between exports of goods and services and labour productivity using input-output analysis principles and econometric methods. The main focus is on Latvia’s economy, however in order to perform international comparison and reveal existence of regional or global trends the data on several European Union countries are used. The results of estimations argue that the higher the real labour productivity (per employee and per hour worked) higher the exports. The results also confirm that the higher the value added in output the higher the export ratio despite the fluctuations over time.
