2 Non CES demand Kimball (1995): homothetic aggregator over individual varieties implicitly defined by: ( ) 1 Ωn Q in A in Υ di = 1, Ω n Ω n A in Q n Υ (1) = 1, Υ (.) > 0 and Υ (.) < 0. Under CES, Υ ( Ωn Q in A in Q n ) = ( ) θ 1 Qin θ A in Q n Cost minimization (or utility maximization) λ n : Lagrange multiplier, P in = Υ ( Ωn Q in A in Q n. ) λn Q n, P n Q n = Q in P in di = λ n D n, Ω n where P n is the price index and D n Ω n Υ ( Ω n Q in A in Q n ) Qin Q n di.

In logs, q in = a in + log (ψ (exp (x in ))) + q n, x in = log (D n ) + p in p n, a in = log (A in ). Demand elasticity: ε in = ψ (.) D n P in, ψ (.) P n () April 2, / 11
4 Non CES demand Klenow-Willis (2006) choose a specification Υ that results in a demand function: demand elasticity is log (ψ (x)) = θ log [1 ηx]. η log ψ (x) θ ε in = = x 1 ηx in which is constant when η = 0 and increasing in x when η > 0. log markup is ( ) θ µ in = log θ 1 + ηx in and the elasticity of the markup with respect to the relative price is η Γ in =. θ 1 + ηx in when η > 0 markups are decreasing in the relative price.

5 Strategic complementarities in pricing with CES demand Atkeson-Burstein (AER) () April 2, / 11
6 Model Two symmetric countries i =1, 2. Two types of final goods: tradeable and non tradeable Firms in each country produce differentiated goods Heterogeneous productivities across firms Trade costs for tradeable goods Nested CES Goods grouped into sectors, few goods per sector, many sectors high elasticity within sectors low elasticity across sectors Imperfect competition 13
7 Production of final goods Tradeable and nontradable consumption c i = c T i γ c N i 1 γ Symmetric Dixit Stiglitz aggregate using continuum of sectors c T i = Z 1 y T 1 1/η ij dj η/(η 1) 0 14

9 In country i and sector j there are K domestic firms selling distinct goods and an additional K foreign firms that may, in equilibrium, sell goods in that sector. Output in each sector y ij = P ij = [ 2K k=1 [ 2K P ijk P ij = (q ijk ) ρ 1 ρ P 1 ρ ijk dj k=1 ( qijk y ij ) 1 ρ Production costs: Production function ] ρ ρ 1 ] 1 1 ρ A i zl W i A i z z is idiosyncratic.

11 Firms play a static game of quantity competition. Choose q ijk taking as given quantities chosen by other firms in the economy and W. Each firm recognizes that sectoral prices P ij vary when the firm changes q ijk Firms problem is to and quantities y ij subject to max P ijk q ijk q ijk MC ijk P ijk P i = Take c i and P i as given. y ij = ( qijk y ij [ 2K k=1 ) 1 ρ ( y ij c i ) 1 η ] ρ (q ijk ) ρ 1 ρ 1 ρ

13 y ij = ln y ij q ijk = = [ 2K k=1 ρ ρ 1 ] ρ (q ijk ) ρ 1 ρ 1 ρ 1 [ 2K k=1 (q ijk) ρ 1 ρ 1 [ 2K k=1 (q ijk) ρ 1 ρ ]q 1 ρ ijk ] ρ 1 ρ ρ 1 q ρ 1 ijk

20 Quantitative example K =20,η=1,ρ=10,D=1.59, F =0.0002, θ =0.38,σ=0.20. Share of imports in gross tradeable output =16.5% 25% tradeable firms exports Plausible distribution of markups and Herfindahl indices Other micro trade patterns: G L indices for intra sectoral trade Plants export small fraction of output. Exporters are larger than non exporters. Large dispersion of value added per worker across firms. Value added per worker higher for exporters relative to non exporters. 21

25 Distribution Costs Corsetti and Dedola 2005 When country i firms sell to country n there is a retail (and wholesale) sector that bundles the imported good with distribution services to bring it to the final consumer. retail sector is competitive and combines the good and distribution services at fixed proportions retail price (in levels) P r in is given by: P r in = P in + η in P d n η in denotes the fixed distribution cost per good. () April 2, / 11
26 Distribution Costs Suppose P d n = P n. consider a CES demand at the retail level with elasticity of substitution θ: Q in = A in ( P r in P n ) θ Qn, where P n denotes the aggregate CES price inclusive of distribution costs. elasticity of demand country i firm faces when selling in country n is where sin d = retail price. η inp n P in +η in P n ε in = log Q ( ) in = θ 1 sin d log P in denotes the share of distribution services in the () April 2, / 11
27 Distribution Costs The optimal mark-up for a monopolistic price-setter is: [ ( ) ] θ 1 s d [ µ in = log in θ ( ) 1 sin d = log 1 θ θ 1 η in exp ( (p in p n )) The elasticity of the markup with respect to the relative price p in p n is 1 Γ in = θ 1 η in exp( (p in p n )) 1 = 1. (1) (θ 1) 1 sd in 1 sin d Clearly Γ in = 0 if s d in = 0 and Γ in > 0 if s d in > 0. ]. () April 2, / 11
28 Elasticity of markup to relative price Γ in non-ces demand: markup elasticity is higher for low relative price firms. CES demand with a finite number of firms: the markup elasticity is higher for higher market share firms. distribution costs: markup elasticity is higher for firms with higher distribution share. In all models, everything else the same, more productive firms have a lower relative price, a higher expenditure share, and a higher markup elasticity. () April 2, / 11
29 Empirical Evidence Berman et. al (QJE 2012): French firms higher productivity firms in France have lower ERPT than low productivity firms. Chatterjee et.al. (AEJ 2012) Brazilian data find similar results on ERPT across individual products exported by multi-product firms. Oleg-Amiti (2013) Belgian exporters with higher expenditures shares in the destination market have lower ERPT. This is both because of the the markup channel (i.e. Γ in ) and because larger exporters import a larger fraction of intermediate inputs that in turn lowers their sensitivity to bilateral exchange rate shocks, that is they have a lower α in. () April 2, / 11
30 Empirical Evidence Goldberg and Hellerstein (2006), Hellerstein (2008), Goldberg and Verboven (2001), Nakamura and Zerom (2010) structural models of international pricing featuring heterogeneous consumer choosing among horizontally differentiated varieties that better suit their preferences. These models, which give rise to richer and more flexible demand systems, are simulated and estimated using detailed micro data and econometric methods that are standard in the field of industrial organization. Goldberg and Hellerstein (2008) provide a recent survey of this work. () April 2, / 11
