In diesem Beitrag leiten wir für den Fall inländischer Exportsubventionen die Wohlfahrtswirkungen auf den inländischen und ausländischen Markt (und auf die Weltwohlfahrt) ab. Die Grundlage dafür ist ein räumliches Oligopol mit inländischen und ausländischen Firmen. Es kann gezeigt...

One third of Chinese exporters sell more than ninety percent of their production abroad. We argue that this distinctive pattern is attributable to a wide range of subsidies that provide incentives to these "pure exporters". We propose a heterogeneous firm model in which firms exporting all their...

This paper presents a simple model of subsidies with export share requirements (ESR) in a heterogeneous firm environment. A two-country general equilibrium version of the model with a single 100% ESR is calibrated using firm-level data from the 2002 wave of the Business Environment and...

One third of Chinese exporters sell more than ninety percent of their production abroad. We argue that this distinctive pattern is attributable to the widespread use of subsidies that require firms to export the vast majority of their output. We study this type of subsidy in the context of a...

Existing theories of trade agreements suggest that GATT/WTO efforts to reign in export subsidies represent an inefficient victory for exporting governments that comes at the expense of importing governments. Building on the Cournot delocation model first introduced by Venables (1985), we derive...

This study examines the economic effects of export subsidy policy in an environment where exporters must expend resources to find foreign consumers. Within a sequential search model we find that export promotion policies specifically designed to lower an exporter’s search costs (e.g.,...
