Firms in International Trade (2007, neutral): “However, similar patterns of productivity gains from the expansion of high-productivity exporting firms have been found in response to reductions in trade barriers in both Canada (Trefler, 2004) and the United States (Bernard, Jensen and Schott, 2006a). For example, Trefler (2004) finds effects of C”
Global Production Sharing and Rising Inequality: A Survey of Trade and Wages (2001, neutral): “…Davis and Weinstein (2000) and Trefler and Zhu (2000) show that trade in intermediate inputs can help resolve the mystery of the missing trade (Trefler, 1995), in which the estimated factor content of trade is near zero, and that existing tests of trade theory may produce severely biased…”
Multinational Enterprises, International Trade, and Productivity Growth: Firm-Level Evidence from the United States (2003, neutral): “Much of the variation in living standards across countries can ultimately be traced back to differences in productivity (Hall and Jones 1999, Trefler 1995).”
Factor Proportions and the Structure of Commodity Trade (2004, background): “Trefler's (1993, 1995) examination of 1983 data on 10 factors and 33 countries accounting for 76% of world exports found zero factor content in net trade.”

Financial Dependence and International Trade (2000, methodology): “As an alternative test of our hypothesis we also consider a simplified variation of the factor-content studies of trade flows by Bowen, Leamer, and Sveikauskas (1987) and Trefler (1993, 1995).”
Migration and Trade (2012, neutral): “In the last decade or so, empirical work suggesting the presence of large border effects (Helliwell, 1998, McCallum, 1995) and missing trade (Trefler, 1995) has spurred extensive research on the role of trade costs as a source of these findings (Anderson, 2004, Anderson and VanWincoop, 2004) and net”
Beyond the Home Market Effect: Market Size and Specialization in a Multi-Country World (2009, methodology): “Second, following Deardorff (1984) and Trefler (1995), we allow for the violation of FPE by introducing Ricardian differences in technology that generate international wage differences that are invariant to international sectoral specialization.4 The remainder of the paper is divided into four…”
