Learning outcome

The course is designed to introduce you to the new firm-level theories of trade and analyze their quantitative implications. We will continuously draw motivation from empirical observations and explicitly test the predictions of our models on different aspects of the data.  In our analysis we will give increasing attention to some main methodological points. First, what are the important features that firm-level models of trade can offer not attainable by previous theory? Second, how can we construct a reasonable mapping of firm-level models of trade to the data?
