THE IMPACT OF TRADE LIBERALIZATION ON INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY
研究发现，多产业版本的Melitz模型预测贸易自由化后非自由化产业的生产率增长反而比自由化产业更强，与Trefler等人的实证结论相反。
An empirical finding by Trefler (2004, “The Long and Short of the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement”, American Economic Review, 94(4), 870–895) and others that industrial productivity increases more strongly in liberalized industries than in nonliberalized industries has been widely accepted as evidence for the Melitz ( , “The Impact of Trade on Intra-Industry Reallocations and Aggregate Industry Productivity”, Econometrica, 71, 1695–1725) model. We show that under fairly standard assumptions a multi-industry version of the Melitz model does not predict this relationship. Instead, it predicts the opposite relationship that industrial productivity increases more strongly in nonliberalized industries than in liberalized industries.
