Multi-Product Firms and Trade Liberalization∗
This paper develops a general equilibrium model of international trade that features selection across firms, products and countries. Firms’export decisions depend on a combination of firm “productivity” and firm-product-country “consumer tastes”, both of which are stochastic and unknown prior to the payment of a sunk cost of entry. Trade liberalization induces endogenous reallocations of resour...
متن کاملNo 769 December 2006 Multi - Product Firms and Trade Liberalization
This paper develops a general equilibrium model of multi-product firms and analyzes their behavior during trade liberalization. Firm productivity in a given product is modeled as a combination of firm-level “ability” and firmproduct-level “expertise”, both of which are stochastic and unknown prior to the firm’s payment of a sunk cost of entry. Higher firm-level ability raises a firm’s productiv...
متن کاملWeb-Based Technical Appendix: Multi-Product Firms and Trade Liberalization
This appendix contains additional technical derivations and supplementary material for the main paper. Section 1 presents model solutions for the special case where firm productivity and consumer tastes are Pareto distributed. Section 2 contains the complete proof of Proposition 3 in the paper. Section 3 shows that it is straightforward to extend the model to introduce dependence in consumer ta...
متن کاملIntermediate Goods Trade, Technology Choice and Productivity
We develop a dynamic model of intermediate goods trade in which the pattern and the extent of intermediate goods trade are endogenous. We consider a small open economy whose nal good production employs an endogenous array of intermediate goods, from low technology (high cost) to high technology (low cost). The underlying intermediate goods technology evolves over time. We allow for endogenous ...
متن کاملTrade Liberalization and Employment
This paper reviews both multi-country and country studies on the impact of trade liberalization on growth and employment in developing countries. These studies reveal sharply contrasting effects of trade liberalization on employment, suggesting that country-specifi c and contingent factors are important. In particular, differences in how trade liberalization is implemented are particularly impo...
