OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Frictions and adjustments in firm-to-firm trade
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.
