Quality Sorting and Trade: Firm-Level Evidence for French Wine (2012, background): “1 Introduction Why do some firms export more intensively and extensively than others? In the seminal papers of Melitz (2003) and Bernard, Eaton, Jenson, and Kortum (2003) the answer is productivity differences.”
The Anatomy of China's Export Growth (2008, background): “Hummels and Klenow (2005) fi nd that larger and richer countries export more varieties of goods, using data for 1995.”
Solving the Elasticity Puzzle in International Economics (2003, background): “In a cross sectional study, Hummels and Klenow (2002) find that larger and richer countries have larger extensive margins.”
Exploring the Intensive and Extensive Margins of World Trade (2004, positive): “ Hummels and Klenow (2005) point out that adverse terms-of-trade effects are much less likely if a country’s trade grows at the extensive product margin, increasing the range of products traded rather than the volume of trade within a given range.”
The World Trade Network (2011, neutral): “In simple graphs, L is a binary variable, and Lij ∈ {0, 1} denotes the link between two vertices i and j, taking on a value of 1 if there exists a link between i and j and 0 otherwise.(27) Weighted networks add to simple graph some additional information on the lines of the graph.”
International Trade Without CES: Estimating Translog Gravity (2013, methodology): “29 The extensive margin measure taken from Hummels and Klenow (2005) more closely corresponds to the fraction ni/N since they report the extensive margin of country i relative to the rest of the world.”
International Trade and Income Differences (2010, background): “Hummels and Klenow (2005) and Kehoe and Ruhl (2003) document the quantitative importance of the extensive margin in explaining trade flows and trade liberalizations.”
How Important Is the New Goods Margin in International Trade? (2013, positive): “Besides being much simpler to implement than sorting by trade-output ratios, normalizing the trade of a good to the world trade of that good is similar to the procedure used in Hummels and Klenow ð2005Þ.”
Trade Integration, Competition, and the Decline in Exchange-Rate Pass-Through (2006, positive): “Our approach also would complement models that include a distribution sector for traded goods such as Corsetti and Dedola (2005) and Corsetti, Dedola, and Leduc (2005) and results in incomplete pass-through to import prices at both the retail level and the point of entry.”
