Competition and Gender Prejudice: Are Discriminatory Employers Doomed to Fail? (2009, background): “Foster et al. (2012) argue that the initial size of a firm may reflect idiosyncratic demand conditions; the higher the initial demand the higher is the probability to survive.”

Firm Performance in a Global Market (2014, unknown): “…industry models in the IO tradition, but the results of these studies do not readily generalize to the economy at 21A similar point emphasizing the role of the demand side has been made in several papers by Foster, Haltiwanger, and Syverson (2008, 2012), but in the context of the domestic market.”
Verti-Zontal Differentiation in Export Markets (2013, background): “For thatwewould have to distinguish consumer taste fromother potential sources of quantity variability, such as variation in distribution networks (Arkolakis, 2010) or demand build-up over time (Foster et al., 2012).”
Reallocation in the Great Recession: Cleansing or Not? (2016, background): “…the accounting decompositions capture the contribution of reallocation of activity across establishments regardless of the source of that reallocation.47 The work of Foster et al. ð2008, 2013Þ emphasizes that much reallocation is induced by demandside effects as opposed to productivity effects.”

Exporting and Plant-Level Efficiency Gains: It’s in the Measure (2019, unknown): “These observations are compatible with demand accumulation (Foster et al. 2016): new exportersmay charge lowprices initially in order to attract customers, while established exporters can rely on their existing customer network, so that lowering prices is less vital.”
Financial Heterogeneity and the Investment Channel of Monetary Policy (2018, unknown): “Conditional on continuing, the real 7The parameter m is motivated by the evidence in Foster, Haltiwanger, and Syverson (2016) that young firms have persistently low levels of measured productivity.”
The growth potential of startups over the business cycle (2014, background): “Foster, Haltiwanger, and Syverson (2016) provide evidence that size differences between young and old plants cannot be well accounted for by differences in technological efficiency.”
What Determines Productivity (2011, background): “These new frameworks—see Sanghamitra Das, Roberts, and James R. Tybout (2007), Eslava et al. (2008), Foster, Haltiwanger, and Syverson (2008, 2010), and De Loecker (2007b) for example—allow an additional and realistic richness in the market forces that determine producers’ fates.”
