Firms' Exporting Behavior under Quality Constraints (2009, positive): “9This approach to modeling quality captures the trade-offs present in Yeaple (2005) and Bustos (2005), where the adoption of a superior technology reduces marginal costs but requires firms to incur a fixed cost.”
The Impact of Trade on Technology and Skill Upgrading Evidence from Argentina (2007, methodology): “The setup of the model incorporates increasing returns to scale and monopolistic competition as in Krugman (1979, 1980); heterogeneous firms as in Melitz (2003); and endogenous technology choice as in Yeaple (2005).”
The Elusive Explanation for the Declining Labor Share (2021, background): “The adoption of new technologies like automated production methods often imposes substantial xed costs, as Yeaple (2005) and Bustos (2011) have noted.”
Educational Upgrading and Returns to Skills in Latin America: Evidence from a Supply-Demand Framework, 1990-2010 (2011, result): “Besides these direct effects of trade openness, trade can also be a factor in the incorporation of capital goods complementary to skilled labor and thus introduce skill biased technical change (Acemoglu, 2003; Yeaple, 2005), which is also compatible with the evidence on the relationship between wage”
Multi-Product Exporters: Product Churning, Uncertainty and Export Discoveries (2010, background): “Developments in the first area encompass groundbreaking contributions that allowed for the incorporation of firm-level heterogeneity into trade models (Melitz, 2003; Yeaple, 2005; Bernard and al., 2007), innovative empirical studies evaluating firm-level responses to trade reforms (Pavcnik, 2002; Tr”
The Impact of Trade on Plant Scale, Production-Run Length and Diversification (2006, background): “The model contributes to the recent development of firm-based models that highlights differences in the responses of individual firms to trade policies (Bernard et al. 2003; Melitz 2003; Yeaple 2002).”
Globalization and firm level adjustment with imperfect labor markets (2008, methodology): “Consistent with other models of firm heterogeneity, we show in the current setting that it is the largest, most productive firms paying the highest wages that face the strongest incentives to export.”
Importing skill-biased technology (2013, positive): “These papers provide empirical support for the hypothesis that international trade can generate skill-biased techno- logical change, as posited by, e.g., Acemoglu (2003), Thoenig and Verdier (2003), and Yeaple (2005).”
Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Skill Premium in a Quantitative Model of Trade (2013, background): “…the relationship between trade, technology, and inequality are those of Acemoglu (2003), who develops a model of trade-induced technical change; Yeaple (2005), who studies the role of technology upgrading across rms; Garicano and Rossi-Hansberg (2006), who study the e¤ect of a decrease in the…”
Matching and Inequality in the World Economy (2010, methodology): “…but rapidly growing literature using assignment models in an international context; see, for example, Grossman and Maggi (2000), Grossman (2004), Yeaple (2005), Ohnsorge and Trefler (2007), Blanchard and Willmann (2008), Costinot (2009), Monte (2009), and Sly (2009) for applications to trade…”
Product market reform and innovation in the EU (2006, neutral): “7 For theoretical models encompassing this type of effect see, for example, Ekholm and Midelfart (2005), Yeaple (2005), Lileeva and Trefler (2007), Costantini and Melitz (2008), and Ederington and McCalman (2008).”
Productivity, terms of trade and the 'home market effect' (2007, background): “…to this recent but fast-growing literature include Bergin and Glick (2003), Bernard et al. (2003), Melitz (2003), Ghironi and Melitz (2005) and Yeaple (2005) among others. that equilibrium changes in domestic varieties available to foreign consumers more than compensate the adverse movements…”
