On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We study bilateral trade adjustments in a dynamic Ricardian model of trade with search frictions. The model generates an endogenous network of firm-to-firm trade re- lationships that displays price bargaining within and across firm-to-firm relationships. Following a foreign shock, firms sourcing inputs from the country have three options: Ab- sorb the shock, renegotiate with their current supplier or switch to a supplier in another country. The relative importance of these adjustment margins depends on the interplay between the Ricardian comparative advantages, search frictions and firms’ individual char- acteristics, including the history of the relationship. We exploit French firm-to-firm trade data to estimate the model structurally and quantify the relative importance of these adjustment margins in 26 sectors and 14 EU countries.
