Foreign competition, imported inputs and firms’ decisions
We extend the trade model with firm heterogeneity developed by Melitz and Ottaviano (2008), incorporating domestic and imported intermediate goods, in order to investigate the impact of import barriers on final and intermediate goods on firms’ decisions to produce and to export. Our main contribution is to disentangle the channels through which these trade policies work. When variable trade cos...
متن کاملThe Connection between Imported Intermediate Inputs and Exports: Evidence from Chinese Firms
We use data on Chinese manufacturing firms to study the connection between individual firm imports and firm export outcomes.

Our regression results show that firms that expanded their intermediate input imports expanded the volume of their exports and increased t...

متن کاملImported Inputs , Quality Complementarity , and Skill Demand ∗
This paper analyzes how access to imported inputs affects firms in developing countries, where domestically produced high-quality inputs are relatively costly. We build an O-Ring type model with quality complementarity across input tasks, ranking tasks by their qualitysensitivity. Because high-quality inputs are relatively cheap in international markets, firms use these instead of domestic inpu...
متن کاملImport Penetration, Intermediate Inputs and Firms’ Productivity in the EU Food Industry
The aim of this contribution is to study empirically the effect of trade liberalization on productivity growth exploiting a large micro-dataset of more than 20,000 French and Italian food firms, over the 2004-2012 period. This relationship has been studied focusing on import penetration at both industry and upstream sectors level, to investigate the role played by imports in intermediate inputs...
