Intrafirm Trade and Product Contractibility
This paper examines the determinants of intra-firm trade in US imports using detailed country-product data. We create a new measure of product contractibility based on the degree of intermediation in international trade for the product. We find important roles for the interaction of country and product characteristics in determining intra-firm trade shares. Intra-firm trade is high for products...
متن کاملContractibility for open global constraints
Open forms of global constraints allow the addition of new variables to an argument during the execution of a constraint program. Such forms are needed for difficult constraint programming problems where problem construction and problem solving are interleaved, and fit naturally within constraint logic programming. However, in general, filtering that is sound for a global constraint can be unso...
متن کاملA1-contractibility and topological contractibility
These notes are an extended transcript of two lectures given at the University of Ottawa during the workshop “Group actions, generalized cohomology theories, and affine algebraic geometry." The first lecture was a general introduction to A1-homotopy theory focusing on motivating the choice of definitions in the construction, together with a definition of A1-contractible spaces. The second lectu...
متن کاملInput Specificity and Global Sourcing
This paper investigates the role of productivity on a firm’s organizational choice. We set up an industry-equilibrium model in which heterogeneous firms concurrently choose their type of inputs, ownership structure and location of production. In choosing their type of inputs, firms trade off the extra customization costs of adopting generic inputs against the reduced hold-up friction that gener...
متن کاملGlobal Sourcing and Firm Selection
Which firms find it optimal to integrate their input suppliers into the firm boundaries of control (vertical integration)? Which firms choose to expand their sourcing activities across the national border (offshoring)? This letter provides novel evidence on these questions based on a Spanish firm-level data set. We find that firms selecting into strategies of vertical integration and of offshor...
