We develop a monopolistically competitive model of trade with firm heterogeneity - in terms of productivity differences … productivity of competing firms. We analyze how these features vary across markets of different size that are not perfectly … in that market. Aggregate productivity and average markups thus respond to both the size of a market and the extent of …

In this paper, we propose an extension of the productivity decomposition method developed by Olley & Pakes (1996). This … extension provides an accounting for the contributions of both firm entry and exit to aggregate productivity changes. It breaks … productivity and another accounting for market share reallocations among those firms - following the same methodology as the one …

increased competition from demand shocks in export markets - and the induced product mix reallocations - induce productivity … changes within the firm. We then empirically test for this connection between the demand shocks and the productivity of multi …-product firms exporting to those destinations. We find that the effect of those demand shocks on productivity are substantial - and …
