Multi-Product Firms and Product Quality (2017, positive): “Recent evidence on the effects of import liberalization is consistent with the role we document for imported intermediates in producing high-quality products: Access to a wider range of foreign inputs and to foreign inputs of superior quality than those domestically available enables firms to expand”
On the Relationship between Quality and Productivity: Evidence from China's Accession to the WTO (2017, background): “Bas and Strauss-Kahn (2015) explore the link between tariff cuts that hit Chinese exporters asymmetrically and the prices paid by firms for their imported inputs and received for their exports.”
