Technology and Production Fragmentation: Domestic versus Foreign Sourcing (2016, background): “In fact, technological improvements play a central role in a number of theoretical models on offshoring (Jones and Kierzkowski, 2001; Deardorff, 2001; Kohler, 2004; Antràs et al., 2008; Grossman and Rossi-Hansberg, 2008; Costinot et al., 2013).”
The Geography of Trade in Online Transactions: Evidence from eBay and MercadoLibre (2009, background): “These studies also find a very significant “home-state bias” effect, as seen in the large coefficient estimate on a dummy for same-state transactions, which suggests there are costs to trading across state borders that are not purely distance-dependent.(14)”
Do rural roads create pathways out of poverty? Evidence from India (2018, background): “Hillberry and Hummels (2008) analyze this from the firms’ perspective and show that trade frictions reduce aggregate trade volumes primarily by reducing the number of goods shipped and the number of establishments shipping.”

Transportation Costs and the Spatial Organization of Economic Activity (2014, neutral): “Hillberry and Hummels (2008) examines the pattern of shipments between U.S. mining, manufacturing and wholesaling firms and find that three quarters of all shipments, weighted by the value of shipments, begin and end in the same zipcode, a conclusion that does not appear to be driven by shipments…”
Is the International Border Effect Larger than the Domestic Border Effect? Evidence from U.S. Trade (2009, neutral): “Hillberry and Hummels (2008) document that trade is highly concentrated at the local level and that it consists to some extent of local wholesale shipments.”
