This paper develops new estimates of export quality, based on bilateral data, which are far
more extensive than previous efforts. The data cover 166 countries and more than 800 …

This paper presents a dynamic North-South general-equilibrium model where per capita
incomes shape demand patterns across regions. Innovation takes place in a rich North while …

According to the traditional theory of product cycle, firms in the North usually produce goods

Using product-level trade data, we empirically investigate the export patterns of more than
150 countries in their exports to the USA, Brazil, India, and Japan. We document strong …

Tasks in production have different dynamics from individuals products. We build a general
equilibrium model where three forces (ie, offshoring, learning, and wage) interact to …

This paper combines a new product list data set with China's customs data. The analysis …

Abstract “Product cycle” refers to the dynamics of production location shifting from an
