Market size and TFP in new new trade theory
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Jung, Benjamin - 2015
Recent trade theory in the Krugman (1980) tradition predicts that countries with larger market size enjoy higher levels of total factor productivity (TFP) - and equivalently of real per capita income or welfare - as a smaller fraction of spending on inputs is affected by trade costs. However, in...

Offshoring, exporting, and jobs
Groizard Cardosa, José Luis; Ranjan, Priya; Rodríguez … - 2013
We construct a two-sector model - one producing a homogeneous good and the other producing differentiated goods - with labor market frictions to study the impact of offshoring on intrafirm, intrasectoral, and intersectoral reallocation of jobs, and on the economy-wide unemployment rate. A...

Explaining the size differences of exporter productivity premia : theory and evidence
Geishecker, Ingo; Schröder, Philipp J. H.; Sørensen, Allan - 2014
Why is it that exporter productivity premia (EPP) differ so widely in size? We take this question to the theory and to the data. We derive the sectoral EPP in a standard heterogeneous firms trade model and apply the insights from the model to 13 years of data for all Danish manufacturing firms....

Mrázová, Monika; Neary, J. Peter; Parenti, Mathieu - 2018
We derive exact conditions relating the distributions of firm productivity, sales, output, and markups to the form of demand in monopolistic competition. Applications include a new “CREMR” demand function (Constant Revenue Elasticity of Marginal Revenue): it is necessary and sufficient for...
