Market Entry and Trade Weighted Import Costs
Trade costs have fallen surprisingly little given the large increase in international trade in the last 50 years. This paper examines whether trade costs are properly measured. I show theoretically that trade weighted measures will underestimate the changes in trade costs when there are fixed market entry costs and quality differences. Newly traded goods enter at higher trade costs than previou...
متن کاملProfit-increasing asymmetric entry
Area Editor: John H. Roberts Despite conventional wisdom that firm profits decrease with competitive entry, the empirical literaturefinds a number of situationswhere the entry of an equivalent-quality competitor into amarket led to higher profits for the incumbents. Our paper uses a standard linear Hotelling (1929)market to study how location choices affect the possibility that profits increase...
متن کاملAsymmetric Trade Costs: Agricultural Trade amongDeveloping andDevelopedCountries
In this article, the reasonswhydeveloping countries trade fewer agricultural products than developed countries are analyzed. Based on earlier findings that low trade volume in the agricultural sector is due to high trade costs, the focus is on evaluating the extent to which bilateral trade costs in the agricultural sector differ among trading partners. Using a neo-Ricardian trade model, the res...
متن کاملTrade Costs and Markups∗
We explore the effects of trade costs on markups by building a new model consistent with three stylized facts: exporters charge higher markups, markups increase when starting to export, and domestic and foreign sales are negatively correlated, which suggests decreasing returns. We calibrate the model to Chilean data, and simulate reductions in trade costs. Most markups increase along the intens...
متن کاملThe Impact of Trade Costs on Firm Entry, Exporting, and Survival in Korea
This study uses a unique firm-level dataset to examine how falling trade costs from 1993-2001 affected entry, exit, productivity, and exporting in the Korean manufacturing sector. We verify many of the predictions of recent heterogeneous-firm models of international trade. For example, falling trade costs reduced entry by new Korean firms, increased their probability of exit, and reduced the ma...
