This article presents a simple model in which exporting firms are heterogeneous, both in terms of productivity and liquidity, with the latter being affected by exchange rate changes. This configuration is used to analyze the profits sensitivity to exchange rate changes. The originality of the...

We develop a simple model where exporting firms are characterized by het- erogeneous productivity and may face a liquidity constraint, which in turn is affected by exchange rate changes. This setup is used to analyze exchange rate exposure, i.e. the sensitivity of profits to exchange rate...

Notre méthodologie empirique repose sur la spécification de Knetter (1993) : comme le taux de marge et le coût marginal ne peuvent être observés, cette spécification empirique permet de saisir, par un jeu complet de dummies temporelles, tous les mouvements communs aux prix des produits...

This book addresses the foundations of economic growth at the firm level, combining both theoretical and econometric contributions by established scholars. Challenging contributions revisit Marshall’s view on the management of innovation, investigate the decision of firms to venture into...

This paper analyzes the impact of increasing international competition on the evolution of export prices in the last three decades. We investigate both the sensitivity of export prices to exchange rate movements, and the dynamics of profit margins for a large number of manufacturing products...

The paper compares the export price strategies of France, Germany and Italy using a large and common pool of manufacturing products and destination markets. Our results suggest that pricing-to-market (PTM) is not widespread among French and German exporters, whereas Italian one do adopt more...
