This paper analyses the trade effects of restrictive product standards on the margins of trade for a large panel of French firms. To focus on restrictive product standards only, we use a new database compiling the list of measures that have been raised as concerns in dedicated committees of the...

In this paper, the two way relationship between deep integration and production networks trade is investigated. Deep integration is captured by a set of indices constructed in terms of policy areas covered in preferential trade agreements. An augmented gravity equation is estimated to...

We address the trade effect of restrictive product standards on the margins of trade, by matching a detailed panel of French firm exports with a new database compiling the list of Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary regulatory measures that have been raised as a concern in dedicated committees of the...

Using a trade in task model that extends the one of Ottaviano, Peri, and Wright (2010) to three coun- tries, we study the effects of immigration and offshoring costs on employment. Tasks can be performed by migrants, offshore workers or natives, with sorting along a continuum of task determined...

This paper studies the impact of trade liberalization on labor market outcomes. First, we find that bilateral trade liberalization does not affect exports towards third countries. To accommodate this novel result, we deviate from existing literature and rely on a three-country monopolistic...

Using detailed administrative data linking French firms and workers over the years 2002-2007, we document a distinct U-shaped pattern in worker-level wages surrounding the time their employer is acquired by a foreign firm, with a dip in earnings observed for several years before domestic firms...

This paper presents a theoretical model of the optimal choice for firms between offshoring and hiring immigrant workers, in conditions of asymmetric information about their ability and effort in production (symmetric information is assumed for home born workers). When a domestic firm hires an...

Le taux de change est régulièrement incriminé lorsqu’il s’agit de déplorer la perte de compétitivité des exportateurs français. Rien d’étonnant à cela puisqu’une variation de l’euro modifie subitement les rapports de prix des biens échangés. Mais dans quelles proportions...
