Trade Liberalization and Productivity Growth: Firm-level Evidence from Cameroon
Does trade liberalization foster total factor productivity (TFP) growth in the manufacturing sector? Does sectoral trade orientation determine sectoral TFP levels and growth rates? These questions are addressed using pooled pre-and post-liberalization panel data from Cameroonian firms of eight manufacturing industries. A single production function for the whole manufacturing sector is estimated...
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 کاملWeb Appendix to Political Cleavages within Industry: Firm level lobbying for Trade Liberalization
This appendix contains supplemental results. First, Section 1 shows that we observe high within-industry variance even when different levels of aggregations are used for defining the industry categories. Sections 2, 3 and 4 contain technical details of the formal model. Section 5 and 6 include a set of robustness check results in which we examine the effects of product differentiation and firm-...
متن کاملTrade Liberalization, Firm Heterogeneity, and Unemployment: An Empirical Investigation
This paper provides empirical evidence for the interaction between firm-level total factor productivity and trade liberalization as key determinants of firm-level job destruction caused by trade. We also test some key theoretical predictions from Melitz (2003), whose model is used to derive an explicit equation relating firm productivity and trade-induced labor layoff when a country liberalizes...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Demand Responses to Discrete Price Changes
Abstract. This paper discusses the possibility of exploiting price variations that may occur during the survey period of any household expenditure survey in order to identify heterogeneous demand responses to discrete price changes. This is feasible since expenditure surveys usually contain a large number of observations. The principal difficulty for estimation arises from the observation windo...
