Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We build a theoretical model of multi-product firms that highlights
how competition across market destinations affects both a firm's
exported product range and product mix. We show how tougher
competition in an export market induces a firm to skew its export sales
toward its best performing products. We find very strong confirmation
of this competitive effect for French exporters across export market
destinations. Theoretically, this within-firm change in product mix
driven by the trading environment has important repercussions on
firm productivity. A calibrated fit to our theoretical model reveals
that these productivity effects are potentially quite large.
