Abstract:
This dissertation sheds light on the effects of trade policy. Chapter 1 provides theoretical analysis of firm behavior in a model in which firms make geographical importing decisions under oligopolistic competition. In Chapter 2, I calibrate the model from Chapter 1 to the Ukrainian production dataset and use the calibrated model to evaluate the welfare effects of input trade liberalization that happened during the accession of Ukraine to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2008. In Chapter 3, I study the aggregate and distributional effects of unilateral trade liberalization for a small open economy in which firms face credit constraints and set variable markups.
