Trade, Quality Upgrading, and Input Linkages: Theory and Evidence from Colombia (2018, background): “Effects (4) and (5) are shut down because they both arise if the production of higher quality uses intensively high-quality inputs.”
Production Networks, Geography, and Firm Performance (2019, result): “Our work is also related to the literature on exports and heterogeneous trade costs initiated by Arkolakis (2009, 2010). In these papers, the exporter faces a rising marginal cost of reaching additional (homogeneous) customers. In our framework, downstream firms are heterogeneous in their efficiency”
Offshoring and Labor Markets (2018, background): “Examples of recent work include Antras, Fort, and Tintelnot (2014) and Fieler, Eslava, and Xu (2014).”
Venting Out: Exports During a Domestic Slump (2018, methodology): “Our paper also offers a new perspective on the literature studying interdependencies in the extensive and intensive margins of trade (e.g., Antràs et al. (2017) or Morales et al. (2019).”
Exporters, Importers and Credit Constraints (2015, positive): “The fact that the country-level extensive margin of imports is not significantly shaped by the credit score is also consistent with the model in Antràs et al. (2014).”
Conceptual Aspects of Global Value Chains (2019, background): “…will demand that importers attain a minimum efficient scale of production, with smaller and less-productive firms in an industry being excluded from GVC participation (see Antràs and Helpman 2004; Gopinath and Neiman 2014; Halpern, Koren, and Szeidl 2015; Antràs, Fort, and Tintelnot 2017).”
New Perspectives on the Decline of US Manufacturing Employment (2018, methodology): “These direct imports may have di erent consequences than import penetration: empirical analysis of US manufacturing rms by Antràs et al. (2017) nds that while a rm's presence in an industry subject to increasing levels of Chinese import penetration is associated with declining rm-level employment…”
The Origins of Firm Heterogeneity: A Production Network Approach (2019, neutral): “, Jovanovic (1982), Hopenhayn (1992), Melitz (2003), Sutton (2007), Bender et al. (2016)).”
