We find that industries experi...

متن کاملMarket Size, Trade, and Productivity
We develop a monopolistically competitive model of trade with firm heterogeneity in terms of productivity differences and endogenous differences in the 'toughness' of competition across markets in terms of the number and average productivity of competing firms. We analyze how these features vary across markets of different size that are not perfectly integrated through trade; we then study the ...
