Trade, Wages, and Profits
Egger, Hartmut; Egger, Peter; Kreickemeier, Udo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
This paper formulates a structural empirical model of heterogeneous firms whose workers exhibit fair-wage preferences. In the underlying theoretical framework, such preferences lead to a link between a firm's operating profits on the one hand and wages of workers employed by this firm on the...

Baldwin, Richard; Robert-Nicoud, Frédéric - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

Trade and Growth with Heterogenous Firms
Baldwin, Richard; Robert-Nicoud, Frédéric - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006
This paper explores the impact of trade on growth when firms are heterogeneous. We find that greater openness produces anti-and pro-growth effects. The Melitz-model selection effects raises the expected cost of introducing a new variety and this tends to slow the rate of new-variety introduction...

Trade Liberalization with Heterogenous Firms
Baldwin, Richard; Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
This Paper details the positive and normative effects of reciprocal trade liberalization when firms have endogenously determined, heterogeneous productivity levels. We show that trade liberalization leads to: (i) an anti-variety effect (the number of varieties consumed drops) in contrast to the...

International Welfare and Employment Linkages Arising from Minimum Wages
Egger, Hartmut; Egger, Peter; Markusen, James R. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009
We formulate a two-country model with monopolistic competition and heterogeneous firms to reconsider labor market linkages in open economies. Labor-market imperfections arise by virtue of country-specific real minimum wages. Two principal experiments are considered. First, we show that trade...

Tax Reform, Delocation and Heterogeneous Firms: Base Widening and Rate Lowering Reforms
Baldwin, Richard; Okubo, Toshihiro - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008
We model international tax competition allowing for agglomeration forces and heterogeneous firms. This provides a new perspective since a tax schedules have different effects on the international relocation decision of small and large firms (large firms are endogenously more sensitive to tax...
