The Empirics of Firm Heterogeneity and International Trade (2012, background): “14See also Bastos and Silva (2008) for evidence using Portuguese trade transaction data. productivity implies lower prices whereas higher product quality can lead to higher prices, as explored in Baldwin & Harrigan (2011) and Johnson (2010).”
Theories of Heterogeneous Firms and Trade (2011, unknown): “(8) 6An empirical literature has sought to use variation in unit values (revenue divided by physical quantity) to distinguish between models of horizontal product differentiation featuring productivity and quality differences across firms, including Baldwin & Harrigan (2007) and Johnson (2009).”
Zeros, Quality and Space: Trade Theory and Trade Evidence (2007, background): “A similar positive (and often log-linear) relationship between quality and marginal cost is common to many of the papers discussed above, including Khandelwal (2007), Verhoogen (2008), Johnson (2008), and Antoniades (2008).”
Heterogeneous Firms, Quality, and Trade☆ (2015, background): “U l = 1 + 1 2 ( cD) k + 1 k + 2 cD + D( cD) 12 2(cD 3 )k (2 + 3 D)cD 2(k + 2) (44) With the open economy model fully specied, we proceed to discuss some of the key implications of the theory.”
Firms' Exporting Behavior under Quality Constraints (2009, unknown): “While work in international trade has traditionally focused on determinants of trade operating at the sector level, a growing new literature emphasizes the role played by factors operating at the level of the firm.”
Multi-Product Firms and Product Quality (2017, unknown): “8 Kugler and Verhoogen (2012) and Johnson (2012) show that economies of scale in quality production would generate similar predictions.”
The Quality-Complementarity Hypothesis: Theory and Evidence from Colombia (2009, methodology): “23 A high b corresponds loosely to what Khandelwal (2007) calls a long “quality ladder” and more closely to what Sutton (1998) calls a high “escalation parameter”.24 To keep the model simple, we have not introduced a parameter capturing the willingness of consumers to pay (19)Similar functional form”
Trade Liberalization and Embedded Institutional Reform: Evidence from Chinese Exporters (2013, unknown): “In fact, we nd that few incumbents' exports actually decline from 2004 to 2005, and that MFA exit rates are relatively low compared with OTC exit rates across all ownership types (Table 5).(32) Third, we nd that 86 percent of the quota-holding MFA exporters in 2004 are also active in similar product”
