A simple model of buyer-seller networks in international trade

Herkenhoff, Philipp; Krautheim, Sebastian; Sauré, Philip - 2021

The recent literature on firm-to-firm trade has documented salient empirical regularities of the buyer-seller network. We propose a simplistic re-interpretation of the classical Krugman (1980) model that accounts for surprisingly many of the empirical regularities. This re-interpretation relies...

Sparse production networks

Bernard, Andrew B.; Zi, Yuan - 2022

Firm-to-firm connections in domestic and international production networks play a fundamental role in economic outcomes. Firm heterogeneity and the sparse nature of firm-to-firm connections implicitly discipline network structure. We find that a large group of well-established statistical...

Superstar economists : coauthorship networks and research output

Hsieh, Chih-sheng; König, Michael D.; Liu, Xiaodong; … - 2018

We study the impact of research collaborations in coauthorship networks on research output and how optimal funding can maximize it. Through the links in the collaboration network, researchers create spillovers not only to their direct coauthors but also to researchers indirectly linked to them....

Debaere, Peter; Görg, Holger; Raff, Horst - 2010

We use unique plant-level data to study the link between the local availability of services and the decision of manufacturing firms to source materials from abroad. To guide our empirical analysis we develop a monopolistic-competition model of the materials sourcing decisions of heterogeneous...

Supplier search and re-matching in global sourcing : theory and evidence from China

Defever, Fabrice; Fischer, Christian; Südekum, Jens - 2017

In this paper, we consider a dynamic search-and-matching problem of a firm with its intermediate input supplier. In our model, a headquarter currently matched with a supplier, has an interest to find and collaborate with a more efficient partner. However, supplier switching through search and...

Where is the value added? : trade liberalization and production networks

Aichele, Rahel; Heiland, Inga - 2016

Fragmentation of the global value chain makes it difficult to assess the effects of trade liberalization on the global pattern of production. Gross bilateral trade ows no longer reveal a country's or a sector's value added contribution. Yet, it is value added that matters for employment and...

The network origins of the gains from trade

Bosker, Maarten; Westbrock, Bastian - 2019

In this paper, we develop a network perspective on the welfare gains from trade in today's internationally fragmented supply chains. Towards this end, we study a Ricardian trade model featuring trade in final and intermediate products, and introduce a novel comparative statics approach to...
