This dissertation empirically examines three different questions related to the behavior and performance of firms participating of international trade. In the first essay, I ask whether exporting allows firms to charge higher markups. To study this question, I use a unique dataset of Chilean manufacturing firms that contains product-level data on the price and average cost for all goods produced and exported. This allows me to compute direct markup measures, and to identify whether markups variation is accounted by different pricing policies or changes in the production cost. Although within firms the export markup premium is moderate -about 2%-, the study of the trajectories of markups before and after export entry reveals the presence of ongoing gains after export entry. While at the moment of export entry the markup of exported products is not different than the markup of domestic products, three periods after export entry the markup wedge increases to about 7-9%. A decomposition of the markup premium reveals that, within firms, the higher markups on exported products is accounted by both higher prices and marginal cost. In contrast, after export entry, prices and average cost tend to decrease. In the second essay -based on joint work with Nico Voigtlaender-, we revisit the old question of whether firms become more productive after export entry. While there is strong evidence for productivity-driven selection into exporting, previous research has mostly failed to identify export-related efficiency gains within plants. This non-result is typically derived from revenue productivity, which reflects price variation. Using a census panel of Chilean manufacturing plants, we first confirm the non-result for revenue productivity. We then compute plant-product level marginal cost as an efficiency measure that is not affected by prices. We find within-plant efficiency gains of 15-25%, the same order of magnitude as selection effects across plants. Evidence suggests that technology upgrading in combination with export entry is an important driver behind these gains. The final essay studies firms' quality patterns across destinations, when they produce products in different quality segments. I develop a quality model with non-homothetic quality demand and heterogeneity in consumers' income. The model features quality sorting of consumers according to their income level. This implies that firm's quality allocation depends not only on the average income of the country, but on the entire income distribution of the country. The main prediction of the model is related to the role of income inequality on within-firm quality patters. I find that in countries with a smaller middle classes, firms' tend to skew their exports towards products of higher quality. This effect tends to be weaker in countries with higher income. To illustrate the main predictions of the model, I use a unique dataset from the Chilean wine industry. This dataset allows me to construct measures of product quality, that are not affected by aggregation or markup issues. In line with the model's predictions, I find that firms tend export proportionally more high quality products to more unequal countries. However, I find this effect to be quantitatively important only in low and middle-income countries.

The thesis is organized as follows. Chapter 2 contains a survey of the three most in‡fluential models on fi…rm heterogeneity and of the most important empirical work on firrm heterogeneity. The chapter starts with a brief review of the homogeneous productivity imperfect competition literature. Chapter 2 …finishes with a comparison of the three most in‡fluential models of fi…rm heterogeneity and the oligopoly model put forward in the thesis. Chapter 3 addresses exporting uncertainty under heterogeneous popularity. Chapter 4 contains the chapter on …firm heterogeneity under oligopoly. Chapter 5 constitutes the models on …firm heterogeneity and endogenous quality. Chapter 6 points out the within-sector specialization model. Chapter 7 addresses the effect of importer characteristics on unit values and the role of markups and quality to explain this effect. Chapter 8 concludes.

Macroeconomic phenomena are ultimately the aggregation of a large number of micro decisions. In the case of international trade, decisions at both the plant and the firm level ultimately drive trends in the aggregate data. All three chapters in this dissertation focus on extending our understanding of the decisions made by exporters. In the first chapter,''Agglomeration and Local Spillover Effects of US Exporters'', I extend the study of local area information frictions in the context of exporting. Leveraging a novel dataset of establishment level exports in the US, I show for the first time in the US context that information about foreign demand affects entry and exit decisions into exporting at the county level. I extend a common model of social learning to incorporate the multi-dimensional nature of exporting choices. The second chapter,''The Local-Area Impact of Exporting'', details the creation of the establishment level export dataset. It also uses the novel detailed look into regional trade to show the additional impact of the 2007-2009 collapse in trade during the Great Recession on local labor market outcomes in counties which are more exposed to trade shocks. Partly inspired by the first chapter's observation that intermittent exporting is difficult to rationalize in standard models of trade, the third chapter, ``US exporters between 1993-2017'', documents how the export decisions of US exports vary over their life-cycle. Each of these chapters contributes new understanding of establishment export decisions at the micro-level, and taken together show that as data quality improves, the local environment of firms and exporters will increasingly matter for targeted macroeconomic interventions
