International trade in a model with heterogeneous trade costs, parallel imports and non-homothetic preferences∗
I incorporate heterogeneous trade costs into the model of Foellmi, Hepenstrick, and Zweimüller (2013) to analyze another reason for export zeros, additional to arbitrage constraints resulting from per capita income differences. In my model, high trade costs may be responsible for export zeros. The level of tariffs and transportation costs are crucial for patterns of international trade. I find ...

Using the framework developed in Eaton, Kortum, Neiman, and Romalis (2016), we revisit the puzzles in a counterfactual world wit...
