Skill Biased Heterogeneous Firms, Trade Liberalization, and the Skill Premium (2015, neutral): “Like our model, the model of Romalis (2004) features monopolistic competition and Cobb-Douglas production where the factor cost shares vary continuously.”
Tariff binding and overhang: Theory and evidence (2015, methodology): “32 This choice of instrumental variables is motivated by the factor-content-oftrade methodology developed by Romalis (2004), in which relative resource endowment determines comparative advantage and, hence, the structure of trade in the world.”
Trade Adjustment: Worker Level Evidence (2014, neutral): “…of manufacturing entirely (column 5), and at new employers whose industry is unrecorded in the data (column 6).35 For panels A and B (containing results for cumulative earnings and cumulative years of employment), summing the coefficients in columns 2 through 6 produces the value in column 1.”
Export Versus FDI and the Communication of Complex Information (2012, background): “Following Romalis (2004), this comparative advantage story can be tested by interacting each country’s relative endowment of a given factor with the relative intensity with which this factor is used in each industry.”
What Goods Do Countries Trade? A Quantitative Exploration of Ricardo's Ideas (2012, background): “In a textbook Ricardian model, if China gets access to the United States s technology, then trade ows and welfare will fall in the United States; see e.g. Samuelson (2004).”
Firms, Contracts, and Trade Structure (2003, background): “The third test I conduct consists in running a regression analogous to (31) but with the log of total intrafirm imports (instead of its share in total imports) in the left-hand side.”
Trade Facilitation and Export Diversification (2011, neutral): “Column 5 includes data on factor abundance, following Romalis (2004).”
An Elementary Theory of Comparative Advantage (2009, background): “…literature, are not necessary to derive smooth predictions about aggregate output in environments with multiple countries, goods, and factors.11 In Romalis (2004), for example, similar predictions are derived in an economy with two factors, two countries, and a continuum of goods because of…”
Product quality and the direction of trade (2006, background): “10 Romalis (2004) derives the effect of comparative advantage on the number of firms in a Heckscher–Ohlin model that accounts for product differentiation and trade costs.”
