In this paper, I study the impact of uncertainty in the delivery of inputs on international trade
patterns. I develop a model of sourcing decisions where risk-averse managers can contract …

The concept of parameter identification (for a given specification) is differentiated from global
identification (which specification is right). First-order conditions for production under risk are …

The purpose of this paper is to examine production decisions under output price uncertainty.
Using a nonparametric estimation technique to estimate the first four moments of the …

We survey the methodological advances in DEA over the last 25 years and discuss the
necessary conditions for a sound empirical application. We hope this survey will contribute …

This paper develops a general equilibrium model of international trade in homogenous
intermediate inputs. In the model, trade between countries is driven exclusively by …

This paper explores how learning from neighboring firms affects new exporters' product
quality. It builds a Bayesian learning model to study how new exporters revise their prior …

In this article, I present a theoretical framework and derive an empirical model that relates
import price risk to the allocation of an import across exporting sources (source …

The purpose of this chapter is to review some of the recent relevant literature on the
empirical implementation and testing of risk in agricultural production decisions. As well, it …

This study examines the impact of learning from neighboring firms on new importers'
behaviors. We first develop a learning model in which firms update their beliefs concerning …
