Exporters, Importers and Credit Constraints (2015, unknown): “Descriptive evidence by Bernard et al. (2007), Muûls and Pisu (2009) or Halpern et al. (2005) shows that importing firms share many attributes with exporters: they are both larger and more productive and product and countrylevel patterns of trade at the firm level are similar for both.”
Importing, Exporting, and Innovation in Developing Countries (2009, unknown): “In a recent study, Halpern et al. (2006) analyze two channels by which imported products lead to productivity improvements in Hungary: higher quality of these goods and imperfect substitution between foreign and domestic inputs.”
Trade, Foreign Investment, and Industrial Policy for Developing Countries* (2009, methodology): “Both Rodriguez and Rodrik (1999) and Harrison and Hanson (1999) critique a heavily used measure of openness created by Sachs andWarner (1995). The Sachs and Warner measure has been updated by Wacziarg and Welch (2007), but the updated measure may su¤er from the same shortcomings as the Sachs and War”
Prices, Markups and Trade Reform (2016, background): “On the input side, input tari reductions may lead to the import of new, previously unavailable intermediate products, which will lead to increases in productivity (see Halpern et al. (2011) for a formalization of this argument).”
Markups and Firm-Level Export Status (2012, unknown): “This approach delivers an estimate for the markup (μ) by running ( 14 ) on standard production data, where we simply rely on a non linear function in capital and investment to proxy for productivity.”
Imported Intermediate Inputs and Domestic Product Growth: Evidence from India (2010, unknown): “(2008), Amiti and Konings (2007), Halpern, Koren and Szeidl (2006) ), with Muendler (2004) being”
Firms in International Trade: Importers and Exporters Heterogeneity in the Italian Manufacturing Industry (2008, unknown): “Thus, firms would buy foreign inputs only to the extent that these goods would determine a productivity gain high enough to cover the fixed cost(Halpern et al. (2005)).”
Productivity and the Decision to Import and Export: Theory and Evidence (2008, background): “Halpern, Koren, and Szeidl (2006) use Hungarian plant data and find that approximately two-thirds of the increase in plant productivity due to importing is attributable to an increase in the variety of intermediates used in production while the remaining one-third is due to an increase in quality.”
Corruption, Types of Corruption and Firm Financial Performance: New Evidence from a Transitional Economy (2018, background): “Furthermore, Halpern et al. (2005) show that the omitted variables and reserve causality bias are other problems for macroeconomic studies.”
