This award funds empirical research on international trade and competition between manufacturing firms. The PIs will combine two existing data sources to create a dataset with data on Chinese manufacturing firms from 2000 - 2006. The data will include information on ownership type, production, financial/balance sheet results, value of import/export transactions and quantity of import/export transactions. The data set will be used to do two different things. First they will study the relationship between firm productivity, investments, and export sales and prices across a range of 'destination' (eg, non-Chinese) markets. Second, the PIs will use the data to estimate a structural model of firm demand, pricing and export supply. To do this, they will develop a modeling framework that incorporates both demand side and production side firm level heterogeneity. Third, they will estimate a dynamic structural model of firm investment in R&D and capital to study the importance of quality upgrades and productivity improvement as sources of Chinese success in export markets. Finally, they will use the full model to study the effect of possible changes in market conditions such as trade liberalization on exports, investments, and firm performance.Broader impacts include new insight for economic policy by understanding the causes that make some manufacturing firms successful exporters.

该奖项资助了制造公司之间国际贸易和竞争的实证研究。 PI将结合两个现有的数据源，以创建一个数据集，其中包括2000年至2006年的中国制造公司的数据。数据将包括所有权类型，生产，财务/资产负债表，进出口交易的价值，进出口交易的价值以及进出口/出口交易的数量。 数据集将用于执行两件不同的事情。 首先，他们将研究企业生产力，投资​​，出口销售与价格之间的关系。 其次，PI将使用数据来估计公司需求，价格和出口供应的结构模型。 为此，他们将开发一个建模框架，该框架既结合了需求方和生产方企业级别的异质性。第三，他们将估计在研发和资本中企业投资的动态结构模型，以研究质量升级和提高生产率的重要性，这是中国在出口市场中成功的来源。 最后，他们将使用完整的模型来研究市场条件上可能变化的影响，例如贸易自由化对出口，投资和公司绩效的影响。Broader的影响包括通过了解使某些制造公司成功出口商的原因来了解经济政策的新见解。
