متن کاملFirms' Strategic Choices under Demand Uncertainty (Preliminary and Incomplete)
This paper investigates how r̄ms choose prices and production capacity when facing stochastic demand.

The wedge between exchange rates and relative prices also varies across countries (pricing-tomarket). I present a model of trade and international price-setting with heterogeneous firms, where firms’ strategic behav...

The model implies that: 1) firm-level passthrough is incomplete and a U...
