Why is it that exporter productivity premia (EPP) differ so widely in size? We take this question to the theory and to … EPPs across sectors, and hence across countries, can be explained by the variation in productivity dispersion, trade costs …

This paper provides a direct test of how fixed export costs and productivity jointly determine firm-level export …, while those with higher productivity export more. These outcomes are the foundation of the widely-used sorting mechanism in … the trade models with firm heterogeneity. A particular and novel finding is that high-productivity nonexporters face …

This paper estimates a dynamic general equilibrium model of entry, exit, and endogenous productivity growth …. Productivity is endogenous both at the industry level (firms enter and exit) and at the firm level (firms invest in productivity …-enhancing activities). The focus of the paper is on two activities that make productivity-enhancing investments more attractive, namely …

This paper provides an estimation of the reaction of firm-level exports consecutive to real exchange rate movements … - the exchange rate elasticity of exports. Following recent theoretical works emphasizing the role played by firm … heterogeneity, we test in particular how the exchange rate elasticity may be a..ected by firm-level productivity, and how the …
