摘要:We distill the main insights from recent trade models on firms' responses to
globalization. Our primary aim is to assess the economic impact and the welfare
implications of the resulting reallocation of resources across frims and countries. In so
doing, we bring theory into life through the numerical implementation of a theoretical
framework calibrated on European data, which encompasses aspects of economic
geography, firm heterogeneity, and firms' organizational choices. Our final purpose is
to provide a comprehensive background for empirical investigations and to stimulate
further theoretical research.
