We develop a new model of multi-product firms which invest to improve both the quality of their individual products and of their brand.  Because of flexible manufacturing, products closer to firms' core competence have lower costs, so they produce more of them, and also have higher incentives...

We present a new model of multi-product firms (MPFs) and flexible manufacturing and explore its implications in partial and general equilibrium. International trade integration affects the scale and scope of MPFs through a competition effect and a demand effect. We demonstrate how MPFs adjust in...

High-performance firms typically have two features in common: i) they produce in more than one country and ii) they produce more than one product. In this paper, we analyze the internationalization strategies of multi-product firms at the product-level. We find that the most productive firms...
