The Dynamics of Firm-Level Adjustment to Trade Liberalization (2007, background): “Our model shows how the current industrial response not only depends on those concurrent trade costs, but also, inextricably, on the rms prior 1Alvarez and Lopez (2005) nd empirical support for all three types of rm behavior.”
Gains from Trade When Firms Matter (2012, background): “The second source of gains stems from a ‘reallocation’ effect at the firm level that was described by Melitz (2003) and Bernard et al.”
Trade openness, income levels, and economic growth: The case of developing countries, 1970–2009 (2015, neutral): “…ongoing debate on the extent to which these effects occur, mostly with relation to DCs.1 It is therefore not surprising that many recent empirical studies have been devoted to the analysis of the relationship between trade openness and economic growth/income levels (e.g. López 2005; Herzer 2013).”
Trade, growth and income (2011, background): “See Edwards (1993) and Lopez (2005) for the detailed survey and references therein.”
Trade and Growth at Different Stages of Economic Development (2009, background): “Please see Edwards (1993) and Lopez (2005) for the detailed discussions and references therein.”
Openness and Technological Innovations in Developing Countries: Evidence from Firm-Level Surveys (2006, positive): “Alvarez and Lopez (2005) and Fernandes and Isgut (2007) are some of the studies that find learning-by-exporting effects.”
Revisiting Some Productivity Debates (2003, background): “Lopez (2005) surveys the literature and notes that each microeconomic study finds for this channel.15 The causal effect could also go in the other direction if exporters are able to increase their productivity level as they learn from their export activities.”
Theories of Heterogeneous Firms and Trade (2011, neutral): “This literature is reviewed in Lopez (2005) and, more recently, a number of papers have provided evidence that exporting enhances incentives for technology adoption, as discussed in Section 9. liberalization episodes.”
Does the Mobility of R&D Labor Increase Innovation? (2015, background): “Various evidence from surveys, patent files, and court cases, shows that labor mobility is an important channel of knowledge transfer between firms (Almeida and Kogut, 1999; Hoti et al., 2006; Mansfield, 1985).”
Export behaviour of SMEs in transition countries (2013, background): “As López (2004, 2005) argues, notably in the context of developing countries, firms ‘‘consciously’’ increase their productivity levels in order to serve export markets.”
