Multiproduct mergers and the product mix in domestic and foreign markets
Chan, Jackie M.L.; Irlacher, Michael; Koch, Michael - 2022
This paper investigates the effects of mergers on the product mix of multiproduct firms. Thus, we open the black box of post-merger efficiency improvements to reveal a new margin of adjustment along the product dimension. We analyze horizontal mergers in a theoretical model where oligopolistic...

Short run gravity
Anderson, James E.; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017
Short run gravity is a geometric weighted average of long run gravity and bilateral capacity. The model features (i) joint trade costs endogenous to bilateral volumes, (ii) long run gravity as a limiting case of effcient investment in bilateral capacities, (iii) a structural ratio of short run...

Forensics, elasticities and Benford's law
Demir, Banu; Javorcik, Beata K. Smarzynska - 2018
Estimates of the trade elasticity based on actual trade policy changes are scarce, and the few that exist are all over the place. This paper offers a setting where an exogenous increase in a border tax can be used to estimate the trade elasticity. It shows theoretically and empirically that if...

Firm-productivity and export under non-constant marginal costs
Mukherjee, Arijit - 2016
Recent theoretical research shows that exporters are more productive than nonexporters. We show that this result holds almost trivially for the case of constant marginal cost of production, as mainly assumed in the literature, but it may not hold true if the marginal cost is not constant. Our...
