Multiproduct-Firm Oligopoly: An Aggregative Games Approach (2018, background): “Eckel and Neary (2010) and Eckel, Iacovone, Javorcik, and Neary (2015) are recent exceptions.”
Success and failure of African exporters (2011, positive): “The literature on multiproduct firms suggests that within firms there is product heterogeneity, and firms have stronger capacities at exporting ‘core’ products (see for instance Eckel and Neary, 2010 for a theoretical model and Iacovone et al. (forthcoming) or Eckel et al. (2011) for empirical tests”
Temporary trade and heterogeneous firms (2012, methodology): “Motivated by the methodology in Harrigan and Deng (2008) and Mayer et al. (2010), we opt for this approach to allow for using transaction level approach as well as product and/or firm level fixed effects as a control for heterogeneity.”
Imported Intermediate Inputs and Domestic Product Growth: Evidence from India (2009, neutral): “We should emphasize that the interpretation of the TFP findings is difficult in our setting for reasons discussed in Erdem and Tybout (2003). The presence of multiproduct firms further complicates matters (De Loecker (2007)).”
In with the Big, Out with the Small (2014, neutral): “In addition, by raising competition, de-reservation may have pushed establishments to specialize in products in their core competence ( Eckel and Neary 2010 .”
Multiproduct Firms and Product Turnover in the Developing World: Evidence from India (2010, neutral): “2 See Hopenhayn (1992), Melitz (2003), and empirical evidence in Dunne et al.”
Verti-Zontal Differentiation in Export Markets (2013, background): “Using (5), we readily see that the demand for variety s may be written as follows: q(s) = α(s)− p(s) β(s) − γ(A− P) β(s)(1 + γN) (6) 8Our approach is thus consistent with Aw, Batra and Roberts (2001) and Eckel and Neary (2010) who assume that quality is intrinsic to a firm.”
Selection and Market Reallocation: Productivity Gains from Multinational Production (2012, positive): “In our main analysis, we estimate rm productivity using a new methodology developed by Ghandi et al. (2012). We have also compared our results using other productivity estimates.”
Sanctions and export deflection: evidence from Iran (2017, neutral): “33 Edwards and Lawrence (2016) and Frazer and Biesebroeck (2010) showed theoretically and empirically how US quotas on Chinese exports served as an implicit subsidy for African apparel exporters, and led Chinese exporters to transship their trade, following the imposition of US quotas, to US…”
Multi-Product Firms and Product Quality (2017, neutral): “log pricefp = + log revenuefp + f + "fp, (14)”
Do Prices Determine Vertical Integration (2016, neutral): “Other papers have studied how trade liberalization, by increasing the degree of competition, affects the number of horizontally differentiated product varieties a firm chooses to manufacture (Eckel and Neary, 2010; Bernard, Redding and Schott, 2011).”
Tariff scares: Trade policy uncertainty and foreign market entry by Chinese firms (2018, background): “This is consistent with what we would expect of an Carsten and Neary (2010) multiproduct firm; the core product has the lowest marginal cost of production and is therefore more likely to overcome the fixed and variable costs of entering distant destinations than peripheral products would be.”
