• The Economics of Standardization: An Update (2010, background): “Jones and Hudson (1996) and Hudson and Jones (2001, 2003a) provided important explanations for some of the econometric results in Section 2.2 – especially those that find the effects of national standards on trade exceed the effects of international standards.”
• Is Export Promotion Effective in Developing Countries? Firm-Level Evidence on the Intensive and Extensive Margins of Exports (2008, background): “…perceived by buyers as less technologically advanced and of poorer quality than those from developed countries (see, e.g., Chiang and Masson, 1988; Hudson and Jones, 2003).4 It is also particularly true for highly differentiated products, for which prices cannot convey all the relevant…”
