Backward integration, forward integration, and vertical foreclosure
Spiegel, Yossi - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

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...

Product adjustments: A firm-level analysis of the impact of a real exchange rate shock
Moxnes, Andreas; Ulltveit-Moe, Karen-Helene - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
Using a new and extensive micro data set we investigate the impact of a change in international competitive pressure following a real exchange shock on multi-product firms’ product mix. We only find weak evidence for the core competencies hypothesis, according to which, we would expect the...

Kugler, Maurice; Verhoogen, Eric A - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

Heterogeneous Firms, Agglomeration and Economic Geography: Selection and Sorting
Baldwin, Richard; Okubo, Toshihiro - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
A Melitz-style model of monopolistic competition with heterogeneous firms is integrated into a simple NEG model to show that the standard assumption of identical firms is neither necessary nor innocuous. We show that re-locating to the big region is most attractive for the most productivity...

Simultaneous Search with Heterogeneous Firms and Ex Post Competition
Gautier, Pieter A; Wolthoff, Ronald - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007
We study a search model where workers can apply to high and or low productivity firms. Firms that compete for the same candidate can increase their wage offers as often as they like. We show that if workers apply to two jobs, there is a unique symmetric equilibrium where workers mix between...
