Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
I propose a general equilibrium framework where firms decide
whether to outsource or integrate input manufacturing, domestically
or abroad. By outsourcing, firms may benefit from suppliers' technologies, but pay mark-up prices. By sourcing intrafirm, they save
on mark-ups and pay possibly lower foreign wages. Multinational
corporations arise when firms integrate production abroad. The
model predicts that intrafirm imports are positively correlated with
the mean and variance of the firms' productivity distribution and with
the degree of input differentiation. I use the model to quantify the US
welfare gains from intrafirm trade, which amount to about 0.23 percent of consumption per-capita. (JEL D21, F12, F23, F41, L11, L24)
