Heterogeneous firms and trade: testable and untestable properties of the
Melitz model  |
| 概要： （Abstract） |
This paper sets out a basic heterogeneous-firms trade model that is closely
akin to Melitz (2003). The positive and normative properties of the model
are studied in a manner intended to highlight the core economic logic of
the model. The paper also studies the impact of greater openness at the
firm-level and aggregate level, focusing on changes in the number and type
of firms, trade volumes and prices, and productivity effects. The normative
effects of liberalisation are also studied and here the paper focuses on
aggregate gains from trade, and income redistribution effects, showing
inter alia that the model is marked by a Stolper-Samuelson like effect.
A number of empirically testable hypotheses are also developed. These concern the impact of greater openness on the firm-level trade pattern, the variance of unit-prices, the stock market valuation of firms according to size, and the lobbying behaviour by size. |
