Trade Costs and Markups∗
We explore the effects of trade costs on markups by building a new model consistent with three stylized facts: exporters charge higher markups, markups increase when starting to export, and domestic and foreign sales are negatively correlated, which suggests decreasing returns. We calibrate the model to Chilean data, and simulate reductions in trade costs. Most markups increase along the intens...
متن کاملTrade costs , firms and productivity $
This paper examines the response of U.S. manufacturing industries and plants to changes in trade costs using a unique new dataset on industry-level tariff and transportation rates. Our results lend support to recent heterogeneous-firm models of international trade that predict a reallocation of economic activity towards high-productivity firms as trade costs fall. We find that industries experi...
متن کاملAsymmetric Trade Costs: Agricultural Trade amongDeveloping andDevelopedCountries
In this article, the reasonswhydeveloping countries trade fewer agricultural products than developed countries are analyzed. Based on earlier findings that low trade volume in the agricultural sector is due to high trade costs, the focus is on evaluating the extent to which bilateral trade costs in the agricultural sector differ among trading partners. Using a neo-Ricardian trade model, the res...
متن کاملTrade Costs and Gravity for Gross and Value Added Trade
Cross-border production fragmentation enables countries to export domestic value added not only directly in the form of gross exports of final goods, but also indirectly by participating in global supply chains. This paper studies the determinants of trade in value added. I incorporate the global input-output structure into an international trade model to derive an approximate gravity equation ...
متن کاملAsymmetric Trade Costs, Trade Imbalances, and the World Income Distribution
Earlier work by Waugh (2010) suggests that asymmetric market access costs across exporting countries are a major reason for differences in real per-capita income around the globe: 25% − 50% (depending on the measure) of world income inequality could be explained by cross-country trade cost asymmetries alone. We show that these results were driven by what we call model under-specification, an il...
