Productivity and Firm Selection: Intra-National vs Inter-National Trade
生産率と企業の生き残り:国内と海外の比較
概要:
(Abstract)
With heterogeneous firms, inter-national trade is predicted to increase aggregate productivity through a selection effect. In this paper, we attempt at quantifying the impact of firm selection attributable to both international and intra-national trade. To do so, we calibrate and simulate a multi-economy multi-sector model with monopolistic competition and variable mark-ups using firm-level data and aggregate trade figures. We focus on European economies, breaking up France into 21 (NUTS2) regional economies, and including them in a panel comprised of 10 other EU countries. We find that intra-EU trade has a sizeable impact on aggregate productivity, but that intra-national trade has an even greater impact for a big compact-shaped country like France. We also provide an estimation of productivity gains accruing from further behind-the-border integration in the EU. Simulations suggest that substantial productivity gains (around 20%) can be expected from further EU integration. We find that productivity losses and gains vary considerably across economies and sectors, depending on accessibility and competitiveness. We can also map our productivity counterfactuals into average prices, markups, quantities and profits changes and we provide evidence that the models' fits to sales and exports data is reasonably good.
