2 Exports are Granular Freund and Pierola (215): Export Superstars Across 32 developing countries, the largest exporting firm accounts on average for 17% of total manufacturing exports Our focus: French manufacturing Average export share of the largest firm Manufacturing 1 industry 7% 2-digit 23 sectors 18% 3-digit 117 sectors 26% 4-digit 316 sectors 37% 1 / 28
3 Firm-size distribution is: 1 fat-tailed (Zipf s law) 2 discrete } = Granularity Granularity Canonical example: power law (Pareto) with shape θ < 2 Intuitions from Gaussian world fail, even for very large N a single draw can shape N i=1 X illustration i average can differ from expectation (failure of LLN) 2 / 28
4 Firm-size distribution is: 1 fat-tailed (Zipf s law) 2 discrete } = Granularity Granularity Canonical example: power law (Pareto) with shape θ < 2 Intuitions from Gaussian world fail, even for very large N a single draw can shape N i=1 X illustration i average can differ from expectation (failure of LLN) Most common application: aggregate fluctuations Gabaix (211), di Giovanni and Levchenko (212) The role of granularity for comparative advantage of countries is a natural question, yet has not been explored Can a few firms shape country-sector specialization? 2 / 28
5 Trade Models Trade models acknowledge fat-tailed-ness but not discreteness emphasis on firms, but each firm is infinitesimal (LLN applies) hence, no role of individual firms in shaping sectoral aggregates Exceptions with discrete number of firms 1 One-sector model of Eaton, Kortum and Sotelo (EKS, 212) 2 Literature on competition/markups (e.g., AB 28, EMX 214, AIK 214, Neary 215) 3 / 28
6 Trade Models Trade models acknowledge fat-tailed-ness but not discreteness emphasis on firms, but each firm is infinitesimal (LLN applies) hence, no role of individual firms in shaping sectoral aggregates Exceptions with discrete number of firms 1 One-sector model of Eaton, Kortum and Sotelo (EKS, 212) 2 Literature on competition/markups (e.g., AB 28, EMX 214, AIK 214, Neary 215) Our focus: can granularity explain sectoral trade patterns? 1 sector-level comparative advantage (like DFS) 2 firm heterogeneity within sectors (like Melitz) 3 granularity within sectors (like EKS) relax the LLN assumption in a multi-sector Melitz model take seriously that a typical French sector has 35 firms with the largest firm commanding a 2% market share 3 / 28

11 Roadmap: This paper 1 Basic framework with granular comparative advantage 2 GE Estimation Procedure SMM using French firm-level data 3 Explore implications of the estimated granular model many continuous-world intuitions fail dynamic counterfactuals Highlights of the results from the estimated model: 1 A parsimonious granular model fits many empirical patterns. Moments of firm-size distribution explain trade patterns 2 Granularity accounts for 2% of variation in export shares most export-intensive sectors tend to be granular 3 Granularity can explain much of the mean reversion in CA more granular sectors are more volatile death of a single firm can alter considerably the CA 4 Policy in a granular economy: mergers and tariffs 5 / 28

35 Dynamics of Comparative Advantage 2 / 28
36 Dynamic Model Use the granular model with firm dynamics to study the implied time-series properties of aggregate trade Shadow pull of firms in each sector with productivities {ϕ it } Productivity of the firms follows a random growth process: log ϕ it = µ + log ϕ i,t 1 + νε it, ε it iidn (, 1) with reflection from the lower bound ϕ and µ= θν 2 /2 Each period: static entry game and price setting equilibrium Calibrate idiosyncratic firm dynamics (volatility of shocks ν) using the dynamic properties of market shares No aggregate shocks 2 / 28
37 Firm Dynamics and CA Empirical evidence in Hanson, Lind and Muendler (215): 1 Hyperspecialization of exports 2 High Turnover of export-intensive sectors Moment Data HLM France Model SR persistence std( s z,i,t+1 ) LR persistence corr( s z,i,t+1, s z,i,t ) Top-1% sectors export share 21% 17% 18% Top-3% sectors export share 43% 3% 33% Turnover I: remain in top-5% after 2 years 52% 71% Turnover II: remain in top-5% after 1 years 8% 79% Idiosyncratic firm productivity dynamics explains the majority of turnover of top exporting sectors over time show more 21 / 28
38 Mean Reversion in CA Idiosyncratic firm dynamics in a granular model predicts mean reversion in comparative advantage In addition, granular sectors are more volatile (a) Mean reversion in Λ z (b) Volatility of Λ z Expected change in export share, Λ z years 2 years Variation in export share, std( Λ z) Deciles of sectors, by granular Γ z Deciles of sectors, by granular Γ z 22 / 28
39 Death of a Large Firm Death (sequence of negative productivity shocks) of a single firm can substantially affect sectoral comparative advantage In the most granular sectors, death of a single firm can push the sector from top-5% of CA into comparative disadvantage.4 Top firm share Loss in export share Deciles of sectors, by granular Γ z show more 23 / 28
