摘要

我们开发了一个异质企业模型，使我们能够识别企业生产率和产品质量之间的关系。该模型基于2010-2013年159个国家的双边贸易数据集，用于分析贸易成本对食品和农产品贸易的影响。结果表明，较高的企业能力下限(即生产高质量产品的能力)限制了出口市场的进入。此外，固定和可变贸易成本对企业进入出口市场的概率具有显著的负向影响，而可变贸易成本对企业的出口水平具有显著的负向影响。

Product Quality in Food and Agricultural Trade: Firm Heterogeneity and the Impact of Trade Costs

We develop a heterogeneous firm model that allows us to identify the relationship between firm productivity and product quality. The model is used to analyze the impact of trade costs on food and agricultural trade based on a bilateral trade dataset covering 159 countries over the period 2010–2013. The results show that a high firm capability cutoff—implying an ability to produce high quality—limits export market entry. In addition, fixed and variable trade costs have a negative and significant impact on the probability of firms entering export markets, while variable trade costs have a negative and significant effect on firms’ export levels.
