The course studies the role of firm heterogeneity in international trade. It reviews the sources of firm heterogeneity and the canonical models of heterogeneity and trade. It then evaluates these models in light of micro-level empirical evidence, and evaluates their quantitative performance for predicting aggregate outcomes. It also offers new directions of research: models of within-firm productivity growth and multiple sources of firm heterogeneity.
