We develop a heterogeneous-firms model with trade in goods, labor mobility and credit constraints due to moral hazard … trade liberalization. While the former leads to more dispersion of economic activity across space, the latter tends to drive …

The key to our … analysis is the recognition that for free trade, migration, or trade and migration to be adopted, the relevant policy must pass …
