Firm Size and the Intensive Margin of Import Demand
Blaum, Joaquin - 2018
We use French microdata to test an ubiquitous property of firm-based models of importing. When firm efficiency is factor neutral and input prices and qualities are common across firms, firm size should have no effect on expenditure shares on the different products and varieties sourced, holding...

Vertical specialization, tariff shirking and trade
Ma, Alyson; Van Assche, Ari - 2014
The core idea behind the paper is that trade policy matters for the organization of global value chains, a notion largely neglected by economists but which has important implications for our understanding of trade and the international transmission of trade policy shocks. We develop a...

Vertical specialization, international task fragmentation, and convergence
Marjit, Sugata; Oladi, Reza - 2021
In this paper, we construct an elaborate general equilibrium model with a continuum of production fragments for an intermediate good, then embed it in a growth model to address the effects of global production fragmentation, vertical specialization and trade on growth and inequality for a small...
