Innovation and Production in the Global Economy (2018, positive): “To achieve this purpose, we consider a multivariate extension of the univariate Pareto distribution used in the Chaney (2008) version of Melitz (2003).”
Inflation and exchange rate pass-through (2019, positive): “…these models, macroeconomic shocks produce a new, endogenously determined distribution of firms, impacting pricing strategies and aggregate ERPTRs (Bernard et al. 2003; Chaney 2008; Eaton, Kortum, and Kramarz 2011; Mayer, Melitz, and Ottaviano 2014; Melitz and Ottaviano 2008; Rodriguez-Lopez 2011).”
Structural Gravity and Fixed Effects (2015, neutral): “Various theoretical features have been used to generate structural gravity equations, including a constant elasticity of substitution, Pareto distributions of productivity (Chaney, 2008, Costinot et al., 2011) and Frechet distributions (Eaton and Kortum, 2002).”
Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Skill Premium in a Quantitative Model of Trade (2013, neutral): “Taking the product between equations (18) and (19) we get: b X ni b X in b X ii b X nn = b din( 1 + jin)b dni( 1 + jni) 1= j :”

The Role of Extensive and Intensive Margins and Export Growth (2007, neutral): “One definition would simply use the number of all country-product pairs.(9) This metric is too broad because it assumes a country can export every good to every country.”
The Margins of Global Sourcing: Theory and Evidence from U.S. Firms (2017, positive): “…parts, and to account for the empirical fact that the number of importing firms is much larger than the number of firms importing from the most popular sourcing country, we continue to include firm-country-specific fixed costs, although these are not present in the original Chaney (2008) paper.”
Market Penetration Costs and the New Consumers Margin in International Trade (2008, positive): “In general, notice that by following Chaney (2008) in assuming that the trading relationship of i and j is remote enough to j so that changes in ij have only a minor e¤ect in the relative wages of i to j; @ lnwi @ ln ij ' 0 8i (given the choice of the numeraire), and also a minor e¤ect in the price ”
