Welfare in models of trade with heterogeneous firms
Janiak, Alexandre - 2008
I illustrate that the welfare improvement property of the Melitz model is due to the shape of the aggregate labor demand curve, which slopes upwards. By slightly changing some assumptions in the model, this curve may have a negative slope. In this case, increases in aggregate productivity result...

North-South Trade Liberalization and Returns to Skill in the South: The Case of Mexico
Hazarika, Gautam; Otero, Rafael - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008
