Intermediate input imports and innovations: Evidence from Chinese firms' patent filings (2016, background): “…of literature includes the recently emerging empirical studies on the effects of intermediate input imports on firm’s performance.6 Several studies (Halpern et al., 2011 on Hungarian firms; Kasahara and Rodrigue, 2008, on Chilean firms) find that imports of intermediates or declines in input…”
The Gains from Input Trade with Heterogeneous Importers (2018, methodology): “Halpern et al. (2015) use a single sector partial equilibrium framework.”
The Margins of Global Sourcing: Theory and Evidence from U.S. Firms (2017, neutral): “5Quantitatively, this is lower than the findings of Halpern et al. (2015) for Hungarian firms.”
Temporary Protection and Technology Adoption: Evidence from the Napoleonic Blockade (2014, background): “A recent literature has shown that the reduction of tariffs on imported intermediate inputs has large effects on firms’ estimated productivity and product scope (Amiti and Konings 2007; Goldberg et al. 2010; Halpern, Koren, and Szeidl 2015).”
WTO Accession and Performance of Chinese Manufacturing Firms (2017, background): “…higher quality of imported inputs that are not fully reflected in prices or greater input variety that generates a production complementarity (Halpern, Koren, and Szeidl 2015). industries has a first-order effect on welfare by reducing misallocation and the magnitude of this effect is…”
The Impact of Trade Liberalization on Firm Productivity and Innovation (2018, positive): “…to a foreign firm (affiliated or unaffiliated) with which it does not trade.9 Access to imported intermediates may lower input costs, increase the quality of inputs, and/or improve the efficiency of the production process (Halpern, Koren, and Szeidl 2015; Bøler, Moxnes, and Ulltveit‑ Moe 2015).”
Does importing more inputs raise exports? Firm-level evidence from France (2013, positive): “Evidence on the transmission channels is however scarce (with the notable exception of Halpern et al. 2009 and Smeets and Warzynski 2010). We explore these channels focusing on the main mechanisms pointed out in the literature: (1) access to more input varieties through imports (the complementarity/”
