Firm-Level Distortions, Trade, and International Productivity Differences
Developing countries typically exhibit small firm size, high dispersion of firm-level productivity, and low trade-to-output ratios. They also tend to export particularly less to more distant and smaller markets. To rationalize these facts, this paper develops a flexible, multi-country general equilibrium model of production and trade in which heterogeneous producers face both domestic size-depe...

Developing countries typically exhibit small firm size, high dispersion of marginal productivity of factors across firms, and low trade-to-output ratios. They also tend to export particularly less to more distant and smaller markets. To rationalize these facts, this paper develops a flexible, multi-country general equilibrium model of production and trade in which heterogeneous producers face b...

I give a brief discussion of some results from one part of the quantitative section for US-Japan negotiations. In the coming months I will be adding further data ...
متن کاملTrade Liberalization, Price Distortions, and Resource Reallocation*
We construct a time-variant, price-based measure of trade distortions in 28 manufacturing industries for a large sample of countries over the last four decades, documenting facts consistent with the argument that changes in relative prices are an important channel through which an economy’s openness affects outcomes. First, we find that price distortions at the aggregate level are negatively as...
متن کاملTrade and environmental distortions: coordinated intervention
Free trade may not improve welfare when environmental distortions exist. We study the coordination of trade and environmental policies when the distortion is loose property rights governing resources. Using the dual approach of Dixit and Norman (1980), we trade out ‘iso-welfare’ curves in the space of the degree of environment distortion and the level of the import tariff. We use these curves t...
