The International Research Unit of the Swiss National Bank is organising a conference on
the role of product heterogeneity and quality heterogeneity in international trade.
The scientific committee invites both theoretical and empirical work related to the
following aspects.
What are the margins of product trade across and within firms?
How can we conceptually distinguish between product- and firm- heterogeneity?
To what extent do product characteristics determine whether goods are traded or not?
How does trade integration affect the evolution of industry when product differences,
rather than productivity difference, is the driver of export selection?
How do firms price product characteristics to market?
How does the endogenous selection of exporters affect pricing-to-market
behaviour and aggregate pass-through rates?
