Trade as an engine of creative destruction: Mexican experience with Chinese competition (2013, background): “On the other hand we evaluate this same impact on a third country market.(3) On both these markets we find strong heterogeneous effects of the competition shock on the extensive (firm exit and survival) and intensive (sales of plants) margin of plants.”
The Empirics of Firm Heterogeneity and International Trade (2012, background): “S. Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA), Bernard et al. (2011) and Baldwin & Gu (2009) provide empirical evidence of product rationalization following trade liberalization.”
Trading Away Wide Brands for Cheap Brands (2011, background): “If a firm stays, it decides on its process, quantities 8E.g., small Canadian firms lowered product innovation while large Canadian exporters increased product innovation during CUSFTA (Baldwin and Gu 2005).”
Multi-product firms and product switching (2006, unknown): “Empirical research to date has concentrated either on product diversification at a point in time (e.g. Gollop and Monahan 1991 and Baldwin and Gu 2005) or on the more discrete margin of firm entry and exit (e.g. Baily et al. 1992, Dunne et al. 1989a,b and Foster et al. 2001, 2006).”
Improved Access to Foreign Markets Raises Plant-level Productivity…For Some Plants (2010, unknown): “Of particular interest, Baldwin and Gu (2006) find that exporters produce fewer products and have larger production runs.”
Imported Intermediate Inputs and Domestic Product Growth: Evidence from India (2010, unknown): “Yeaple (2007), Baldwin and Gu (forthcoming) ) also predict that a trade liberalization will induce”
Multi-Product Firms and Flexible Manufacturing in the Global Economy (2009, unknown): “The same point applies to Hallak (2000) and Baldwin and Gu (2005), who use the Ottaviano and Thisse approach.”
Multi-Product Exporters: Product Churning, Uncertainty and Export Discoveries (2010, background): “…and incorporating another layer of heterogeneity, namely heterogeneity at the product level, and relating it to international trade (Arkolakis and Muendler, 2009; Baldwin and Gu, 2009; Bernard et al., 2006; Eckel and Neary, 2010; Feenstra and Ma, 2008; Nocke and Yeaple, 2006; Mayer et al., 2009).”
Multiproduct Firms and Product Turnover in the Developing World: Evidence from India (2010, unknown): “But a multi-product firm extension of Melitz and Ottaviano (2008), a model where product competition intensifies in response to foreign entry and that is perhaps better suited to study the consequences of unilateral trade reforms, also predicts that declines in trade costs are associated with produc”
The Impact of Trade Liberalization on Firm Productivity and Innovation (2018, unknown): “There is also some evidence that the induced competition from export opportunities lead to the Schumpeterian effect (i.e., negative effect on innovation) for nonexporters and the initially least productive firms (Baldwin and Gu 2009; Aghion et al.”
