The extensive margin of intrafirm trade
Gao, Xiang - In: International Journal of Economics and Business Research 4 (2012) 1/2, pp. 213-232
The firm-level approach to intra-industry trade reveals that the variation in the number of exporters or exported varieties (extensive margin) accounts for a greater share of the changes in aggregate trade than the variation in the average exports per firm variety (intensive margin). This paper...

Who Integrates?
Bühler, Stefan; Schmutzler, Armin - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003
We examine vertical backward integration in oligopoly. Analysing a standard linear Cournot model, we find that for wide parameter ranges (i) some firms integrate, while others remain separated, and (ii) efficient firms are more likely to integrate vertically. Adopting a reduced-form approach, we...

Asymmetric Vertical Integration
Buehler, Stefan; Schmutzler, Armin - In: Advances in Theoretical Economics 5 (2005) 1, pp. 1164-1164
We examine vertical backward integration in a reduced-form model of successive oligopolies. Our key findings are: (i) There may be asymmetric equilibria where some firms integrate and others remain separated, even if firms are symmetric initially; (ii) Efficient firms are more likely to...
