González Pandiella, Alberto - 2018

Over the last decades Argentina’s living standards have lost ground relative to other developed and emerging economies. Putting Argentina on a path to stronger, inclusive and job-rich growth requires boosting productivity and strengthening investment through wide-ranging structural reforms....

Market power, productivity and distribution of wages : theory and evidence with micro data

Shepotylo, Oleksandr; Vakhitov, Volodymyr - 2020

The declining labor share in national income and rising inequality over the last four decades raise questions about causes of these trends. In order to explain these trends, we develop a theoretical model that links intra-industry distribution of wages to variation in market power of firms. The...

Subsidizing Firm Entry in Open Economies

Pflüger, Michael - 2009

the government incentive to impact on entry costs, and how entry subsidies can be used strategically in open economies. We … the monopoly pricing distortion. In the autarky equilibrium these subsidies trigger entry, but they eventually do not lead … to more but to better firms in the market. In the open economy there is another, strategic motive for entry subsidies as …

Market Entry Regulation and International Competition

Upmann, Thorsten; Stähler, Frank - 2003

As a part of their industry or competition policies governments decide whether to allow for free market entry of firms or to regulate market access. We analyze a model where governments (ab)use these policy decisions for strategic reasons in an international setting. Multiple equilibria of this...

Icebergs versus Tariffs: A Quantitative Perspective on the Gains from Trade

Felbermayr, Gabriel J.; Jung, Benjamin; Larch, Mario - 2013

Recent quantitative trade models treat import tariffs as pure cost shifters so that their effects are similar to iceberg trade costs. We introduce revenue-generating import tariffs, which act as demand shifters, into the framework of Arkolakis, Costinot and Rodriguez-Clare (2012), and generalize...

Tariffs and welfare in new trade theory models

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Jung, Benjamin; Larch, Mario - 2012

Arkolakis, Costinot and Rodriguez-Clare (ACR, 2012) prove that, conditional on the change in openness, the welfare gains from foreign trade reforms are quantitatively identical across single-sector trade models with radically different micro-foundations. We generalize this result to domestic and...

A simple theory of trade, finance, and firm dynamics

Felbermayr, Gabriel J.; Spiegel, Gilbert - 2012

We propose a stylized monopolistic competition model of international trade where firms differ with respect to the expected economic lifetime of their innovations. Upon entry, they receive a commonly observed signal which is updated over time. Jointly with partial irreversibility of investment,...
