Why is it that exporter productivity premia (EPP) differ so widely in size? We take this question to the theory and to … EPPs across sectors, and hence across countries, can be explained by the variation in productivity dispersion, trade costs …

This paper provides a direct test of how fixed export costs and productivity jointly determine firm-level export …, while those with higher productivity export more. These outcomes are the foundation of the widely-used sorting mechanism in … greater fixed export costs than low-productivity exporters. We also find that the substitution between fixed export costs and …

This paper investigates the impact of restrictive TBTs on firms' extensive margins (export participation and exit … probability), intensive margins (export value) and pricing strategy (export price). To this end, product-level restrictive TBTs … and firm-level export are combined and an instrumental-variable approach is utilized. The results show that the imposition …
