In this paper, we build a dynamic model with endogenous firm-level productivity that generates firm heterogeneity as an … positive impact on the equilibrium rate of adoption (and hence firm-level productivity). In addition, the model can replicate … firms; and why Canadian tariff reductions lowered the productivity of the most productive Canadian firms but raised it for …

This paper studies the effect of competition on firm innovation by developing a discrete-time endogenous growth model where multi-product firms do two types of innovation subject to friction in technology spillovers. Firms improve their existing products through internal innovation while...

We decompose the impact of trade reform on technology adoption and land use to study how aggregate changes were driven by reallocation versus within-farm adaptation. Using detailed census data covering over 30,000 farms in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada we find a range of new...

Using detailed census data covering over 40,000 farms in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada, we document the vast and increasing farm size heterogeneity, and analyze the role of farm size in adapting to the removal of an export subsidy in 1995. We find that larger farms were more likely...
