Firm Microstructure and Aggregate Productivity
综述了企业微观结构模型在宏观经济学、贸易和发展领域的应用,强调企业异质性和资源配置对总体生产率及贸易收益的关键作用,并探讨了资源有效配置的障碍对经济发展的影响。
Models of firm microstructure are becoming now a standard building block in macroeconomics, trade, and development. This literature builds on the recognition that firm heterogeneity and the allocation of resources across firms plays a key role in determining aggregate productivity and the gains from trade. Barriers to the efficient allocation of resources across firms have been recently recognized to play a key role in economic development. This paper focuses on this methodological contribution, the link between firm microstructure and economic aggregates.
