  • Goods and Factor Market Integration: A Quantitative Assessment of the EU Enlargement

    Lorenzo Caliendo, Luca David Opromolla et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2021Cited by: 7

    We build a multicountry dynamic general equilibrium model to study the economic effects of the 2004 enlargement of the European Union. In our model, trade is costly and households of different skills and nationalities face costly forward-looking migration decisions. We exploit the timing of migration policy changes to identify the changes in migration costs. We find that the changes in migration and trade policy resulted in aggregate welfare gain…

  • Productivity and Organization in Portuguese Firms

    Lorenzo Caliendo, Giordano Mion et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2020Cited by: 1References: 4

    The productivity of firms is, at least partly, determined by a firm’s actions and decisions. One of these decisions involves the organization of production in terms of the number of layers of management the firm decides to employ. Using detailed employer-employee matched data and firm production quantity and input data for Portuguese firms, we study the endogenous response of revenue-based and quantity-based productivity to a change in layers: a …

  • Trade and Labor Market Dynamics: General Equilibrium Analysis of the China Trade Shock

    Lorenzo Caliendo, Maximiliano Dvorkin et al.ARTICLEEconometrica2019

    We develop a dynamic trade model with spatially distinct labor markets facing varying exposure to international trade. The model captures the role of labor mobility frictions, goods mobility frictions, geographic factors, and input‐output linkages in determining equilibrium allocations. We show how to solve the equilibrium of the model and take the model to the data without assuming that the economy is at a steady state and without estimating pro…

  • Estimates of the Trade and Welfare Effects of Nafta

    Lorenzo Caliendo, Fernando ParroARTICLEThe Review of Economic Studies2015

    We build into a Ricardian model sectoral linkages, trade in intermediate goods, and sectoral heterogeneity in production to quantify the trade and welfare effects from tariff changes. We also propose a new method to estimate sectoral trade elasticities consistent with any trade model that delivers a multiplicative gravity equation. We apply our model and use our estimated elasticities to identify the impact of NAFTA's tariff reductions. We find t…

  • The Anatomy of French Production Hierarchies

    Lorenzo Caliendo, Ferdinando Monte et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2015Cited by: 22References: 3

    We study the internal organization of French manufacturing firms. We divide the employees of each firm into "layers" using occupational categories. Layers are hierarchical in that the typical worker in a higher layer earns more, and the typical firm occupies less of them. The probability of adding/dropping a layer is positively/negatively correlated with value added. Reorganization, through changes in layers, is essential to understanding how fir…
