1 Entry, Trade Costs and International Business Cycles Roberto Fattal and Jose Lopez UCLA SED Meetings July 10th 2010 Entry, Trade Costs and International Business Cycles SED Meetings July 10th / 17
2 Goals of the Paper Trend in International Trade Literature to write models with Heterogeneous Firms, Entry and Exit of Establishments and Fixed Costs of Exporting. Long run analysis Are these important margins to consider when studying International Business Cycles? This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the role of 1) entry and 2) fixed costs of exporting in an international business cycle model with heterogeneous firms. Our work is close to Ghironi-Melitz (2005) (which lacks both capital and endogenous labor) and Alessandria and Choi (2007) (which has no entry) Entry, Trade Costs and International Business Cycles SED Meetings July 10th / 17
3 Preview of Results Adding these two margins is not innocuous, it has implications for the volatility of aggregate variables, in particular for Investment, Exports and Trade Balance. The model has a better fit of second moments than the standard BKK In addition, the model delivers a negative correlation between RER and Ratio of Consumption (Backus-Smith), under some assumptions about the measurement of the CPI.

9 The Role of Entry Degree of entry irrelevant for quantities, but important for relative prices. If there is no entry, aggregate quantities are too volatile, second moments resemble standard BKK. Entry, Trade Costs and International Business Cycles SED Meetings July 10th / 17

11 Changing the fraction of exporting firms: Quantities have little sensitivity to Share of Exporters, but important for relative prices If all firms export, the model with just entry, delivers the usual positive correlation consumption ratio and RER Entry, Trade Costs and International Business Cycles SED Meetings July 10th / 17

13 Conclusion Regarding quantities, entry and the export margin combine to keep aggregate volatilities close to the data. In this result is crucial that Entry and Investment behave as substitutes for consumption smoothing. In the BKK, the usual feature introduced to reduce volatility is ad-hoc adjustments to investment. Entry and the export margin can help to explain the negative correlation of the Consumption Ratio and RER, under the assumption that CPI captures changes in the set of goods. Complementarity Result: both extensive margins have to be present for the model to deliver novel results. Entry, Trade Costs and International Business Cycles SED Meetings July 10th / 17
