Structural Estimation and Solution of International Trade Models with Heterogeneous Firms (2011, methodology): “…welfare gain of 0.49% in Scenario (B) may not seem particularly impressive, but consider the 40 One might argue, based on the theoretic work of Arkolakis et al. (2008), that an appropriate comparison would increase the manufacturing Armington elasticity of substitution in the reference…”
Firm entry, trade, and welfare in Zipf's world (2013, neutral): “This feature has been noted about Ricardian models (Eaton and Kortum 2002), as well as monopolistic competition models such as the one in this paper (Arkolakis et al. 2008).”
Trade, Domestic Frictions, and Scale Effects (2016, background): “Equation (13) simply follows from differentiating (10) with respect to time (with a constant Mn).”
Does importing more inputs raise exports? Firm-level evidence from France (2013, neutral): “Our results are clother to Arkolakis et al. (2008)’s which finds an aggregate variety index of 0.997 for Costa Rica over the 1986-1992 period.”
A “New Trade” Theory of GATT/WTO Negotiations (2011, neutral): “For example, all results can also be derived in a variant of the Arkolakis et al. (2008) version of Melitz (2003), as I discuss in detail in a separate appendix, which is available on request.”
A Unified Theory of Firm Selection and Growth (2009, neutral): “However, solving for a case with free entry and heterogeneous …rms in a multicountry framework is not as straightforward as, for example, in the case of Arkolakis, Demidova, Klenow, and Rodriguez-Clare (2008) .”
Exports, Export Destinations, and Skills (2012, neutral): “Arkolakis et al. (2008) show that this assumption yields the same results as free entry in the model of Melitz (2003).”
