• Economic complexity, human capital and economic growth: empirical research based on cross-country panel data (2017, background): “The improvement of human capital can make a country learn and master more complicated links and tasks so that the country will have a comparative advantage in the production of more complex products (Costinot 2009).”
• Does Institutional Quality Foster Economic Complexity? (2019, positive): “Therefore, I follow the empirical procedure developed by Conley et al. (2012) to formally bound the estimated coefficient on EFW.”
• Firm entry, trade, and welfare in Zipf's world (2013, neutral): “Acemoglu, Antràs and Helpman (2007), Cowan and Neut (2007), and Costinot (2009) argue that in countries with worse institutions, production will use fewer intermediates, adversely affecting productivity.”

• Production complexity, adaptability and economic growth (2016, background): “In view of this gap, in this paper we set out a growth model that is driven by human capital accumulation as well as by trade specialization and complexity, building on Costinot (2009).”
• What determines Chinese outward FDI (2012, background): “A number of studies argue that home country institutions affect their competitive advantages (Belloc, 2006; Levchenko, 2007, Costinot, 2009).”
