Bernard - Jonathan Eaton - J. Bradford Jensen - Samuel Kortum ## Abstract We reconcile trade theory with plant-level export behavior, extending the Ricardian model to accommodate many countries, geographic barriers, and imperfect competition. Our model captures qualitatively basic facts about U.S. plants: (i) productivity dispersion, (ii) higher productivity among exporters, (iii) the small fraction who export, (iv) the small fraction earned from exports among exporting plants, and (v) the size advantage of exporters. Fitting the model to bilateral trade among the United States and 46 major trade partners, we examine the impact of globalization and dollar appreciation on productivity, plant entry and exit, and labor turnover in U.S. manufacturing. ## Keywords Productivity, Economics, Imperfect competition, Liberian dollar, Globalization, International economics, Competition (biology), International trade, Dispersion (optics), Bilateral trade, Trade barrier, Imperfect, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Geography ## Concepts - Productivity - Economics - Imperfect competition - Liberian dollar - Globalization - International economics - Competition (biology) - International trade - Dispersion (optics) - Bilateral trade - Trade barrier - Imperfect - Macroeconomics - Microeconomics - Geography - Biology - Physics - Linguistics - Market economy - Ecology - Finance - China - Archaeology - Philosophy - Optics --- *Metadata only — full text not imported unless Open Access license permits.*

Tóm lược học thuật (đã diễn giải): We reconcile trade theory with plant-level export behavior, extending the Ricardian model to accommodate many countries, geographic barriers, and imperfect competition. Our model captures qualitatively basic facts about U.S. plants: (i) productivity dispersion, (ii) higher productivity among exporters, (iii) the small fraction who export, (iv) the small fraction earned from exports among exporting plants, and (v) the size advantage of exporters. Fitting the model to bilateral trade among the United States and 46 major trade partners, we examine the impact of globalization and dollar appreciation on productivity, plant entry and exit, and labor turnover in U.S. manufacturing.
