1 International Trade ecture 4: the extensive margin of trade Thomas Chaney Sciences Po Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade / 7
2 Target of the paper Explain the observed role of the extensive margin of trade. Determin in such a model what parameters govern the elasticity of trade flows with respect to trade barriers. Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 2 / 7
3 New assumptions (versus Melitz) Many asymmetric countries with asymmetric trade barriers. No free entry: number of firms directly proportional to country size (can be relaxed). Pareto distributed productivity shocks (delivers closed form solutions). extranumérairesectorasinhelpman-krugmanpinsdownrelative wages (can be relaxed). Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 3 / 7

5 Productivity distribution and entry Pareto distribution for productivities j 2 [, + ), P (j > F) = F q with q > s. Note: Pareto distributions are invariant to truncation, P (j > F j > j ) = In country n, n potential entrants. F q j = P (j > F) j q Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 5 / 7
6 Ownership structure Without free entry, ownership structure matters. Aggregate world profits (P) equally distributed across workers. Aggregate income in country i, ( + P ) i Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 6 / 7
7 Zero cutoff profit conditions Sales by firm j from country i in country j, st r (j) = (s ) jp j Only firms with j j from i export to j, p j = 0, j = l f s µ + P j s Entry threshold into j depends on prices in j. Pj s s j t (ZCP i j) Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 7 / 7
8 Aggregate prices Prices in j depends on which firms able to enter j, Pj s = = = N ˆ Â k p kj (j) k= jkj ˆ s N Â k k= N Â k k= j kj s s dg (j) j s t kj q s q (s ) s dg (j) s jkj s q t kj Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 8 / 7
9 Aggregate prices Prices in j depends thresholds of entry into j. Threshold of entry into j depends on prices in j. Simple solution for prices, with r q j j q P j = l 2 (j ) N Â s k tkj q k= f kj s r j ( q s ) r j is an aggregate measure of j s remoteness from the rest of the world (due to both fixed and variable costs). Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 9 / 7
10 Equilibrium exports and selection Firm level exports (r), thresholdsofexport( j), andaggregateprofits (P), 8 < s j q rj s r (j) = l 3 t j s,ifj j : 0, otherwise j q t = l 4 s f j r j P = l 5 Note: elasticity of r w.r.t. t is (s ) as in Krugman. 2 Note: aggregate income elasticity of firm level exports <. Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 0 / 7
11 Gravity equation Aggregate exports from i to j, ChaneyversusKrugman, 8 >< t ( s q ) >: X Chaney X Krugman = l i j = l i j q r j f t (s ) r j Higher elasticity of trade w.r.t. variable trade barriers, q > s. 2 Elasticity does not depend on the elasticity of substitution s. 3 Elasticity w.r.t. fixed costs, q s,is negatively related to the elasticity of substitution s. 4 Both elasticities are higher in sectors where firms productivity is less dispersed (q large). Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade / 7
12 Gravity equation Similar structure, Chaney and Krugman, 8 >< t >: with X Chaney X Krugman 8 < : = l i j = l i j r = t q f r = t (s ) q ( q r j f s ) = l s i r  N k= s k r kj j t (s ) r j = l s i r  N k= s k r j kj ( s q ) Exports from i depends on trade barriers from i relative to weighted average of trade barriers from k s. Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 2 / 7
13 Intensive versus extensive margins Average size of exporters versus number of exporters, 8 h i < E r (j) j j = l 0 f : t ( s q ) N = l i j l 0 f r j q f Problem : relative exports conditional on export vary a lot, r (j) r ik (j) j j,j ik = t t ik s Possible fix: t random shocks + Arkolakis (2008). Problem 2: average exports decrease with distance. Possible fix: global fixed export costs (Hanson & Xiang 2008). Thomas Chaney (Sciences Po) International Trade 3 / 7
