我们研究贸易成本水平和竞争强度是如何相互作用的，以解释特定行业内贸易的性质和强度以及公司在各国的位置。随着贸易成本从非常高的价值下降到非常低的价值，全球经济从自给自足转向双向贸易，通过从较大区域到较小区域的单向贸易。通过探索出口的密集和广泛的边际，我们调查了贸易强度如何对竞争力程度做出反应。此外，当企业可以自由地转移地点时，它们就会从小国流向大国，而大国永远是制成品的净出口。位于大国的公司比位于小国的公司规模更大。在单向贸易下，企业的搬迁改变了他们对出口的态度。
We study how the level of trade costs and the intensity of competition interact to explain the nature and intensity of trade within a given industry and the location of firms across countries. As trade costs decrease from very high to very low values, the global economy moves from autarky to two-way trade, through one-way trade from the larger to the smaller region. By exploring the intensive and extensive margins of exports, we investigate how the intensity of trade reacts to the degree of competitiveness. Furthermore, when firms are free to change location, they flow from the small to the large country, and the larger country is always a net exported on the manufactured good. Firms located in the big country have a bigger size than those located in the small one. Under one-way trade, the relocation of firms changes their attitude toward export.
