Workshop CEPII-PSE 2013: The Strategies of Exporting Firms

This international workshop aims at confronting recent works on the strategies of exporting firms. This topic has recently drawn the attention of theoretical and applied economists, particularly concerning both causes and effects of exports at firm level. This workshop intends to open up the discussion on (i) the characteristics and determinants of exporting firms, (ii) the firm level interactions between trade and labor market.
