Importing, Exporting and Firm-Level Employment Volatility
In this paper, we use detailed trade and transactions data for the U.S. manufacturing sector to empirically analyze the direction and magnitude of the association between firm-level exposure to trade and the volatility of employment growth.

This paper examines the effect of economic policy uncertainty and its components on firm-level investment.
