"... We present a North-South model of international trade in which differentiated products are developed in the North. Sectors are populated by final-good producers who differ in productivity levels. On the basis of productivity and sectoral characteristics, firms decide whether to integrate into the pr ..."

in which firms with different productivity levels choose different ownership structures and supplier locations. We then study the effects of withinsectoral heterogeneity and variations in industry characteristics on the relative prevalence of these organizational forms. I.
Heterogeneous Firms and Trade Liberalization: Theory and Evidence

"... We investigate how
rmsentry, exit, output and exporting decisions respond to trade liberal-ization and how the responses di¤er across sectors. We do this by building a simple multiple sector model featuring comparative advantage and heterogeneous

and the specific characteristics of within-sector heterogeneity. Other results obtained using a shift-share technique show that structural change contributes very little to productivity growth, and that technological progress is concentrated in just a few activities that engage with the domestic economy in a
Productivity Dispersion and its determinants: the role of import competition
, 2009
"... Preliminary and incomplete draft. Not for quotation and circulation The paper, making use of a large dataset for Italy, confirms the existence in the same sector of a great disparity in firm producti-vity. We shed some light on this evidence working both at sector and firm level. First, we try to ex ..."

The technology diffusion doesn’t seem to affect the within-sector he-terogeneity, while we show a significant relationship
Educational Upgrading and Returns to Skills in Latin America. Evidence from a Supply-Demand Framework, 1990-2010.
"... Abstract: It has been argued that a factor behind the decline in income inequality in Latin America in the 2000s was the educational upgrading of its labor force. Between 1990 and 2010, the proportion of the labor force in the region with at least secondary education increased from 40 to 60 percent. ..."

Housing market turnover also exhibits substantial heterogeneity in household moving rates, the long-run moving trends, and the cyclical
