Productivity, Export, and Environmental Performance: Air Pollutants in the United States (2016, neutral): “Attention to environmental performance in this setting is important because, with heterogeneous firms, increased openness to trade brings about a reallocation effect that increases within-industry efficiency (Melitz and Trefler 2012).”
Non-tariff barriers, integration and the transatlantic economy (2015, background): “…firm models provide an additional source of gains from trade as more efficient firms displace less efficient firms, thus raising productivity (Melitz and Trefler, 2012; Melitz and Redding, 2013); on the other hand, the firm-level adjustment means that there is explicit attention to short-run…”
The Hyperglobalization of Trade and Its Future (2013, background): “Melitz and Trefler (2012) show that the share of intraindustry trade in total trade increased by nearly 20 percentage points.”
Firm Performance in a Global Market (2014, neutral): “These findings are well documented in the literature, and we refer the reader to recent surveys by Melitz and Trefler (2012) and Melitz and Redding (Forthcoming) for a more extensive discussion.”
Technology and costs in international competitiveness: From countries and sectors to firms (2014, neutral): “The available evidence supports also at least equally deep degrees of heterogeneity in the participation on the export markets (see the review in Bernard et al., 2012; Melitz and Trefler, 2012).”
Knowledge-Based Capital, Innovation and Resource Allocation (2013, background): “It also promotes productivity-enhancing reallocation via the expansion of most productive firms into foreign markets and exit of low productivity firms that cannot compete in the global market or face the sunk cost to enter the foreign markets (Melitz, 2003; Melitz and Trefler, 2012).”
