Trade liberalization, exports, and technology upgrading: Evidence on the impact ofMERCOSURon Argentinian Firms, Bustos, P. (2011).Trade liberalization, exports, and technology upgrading: Evidence on the impact of MERCOSUR on Argentinian firms.American economic review,101(1), 304-4 This paper studies the impact of a regional free trade agreement, MERCOSUR, on technology upgrading by Argentinean firms. To guide empirical work, the paper introduces technology choice in a model of trade with heterogeneous firms. An empirical test of the model reveals that firms in industries facing higher reductions in Brazil’s tariffs increase investment in technology faster. The effect of tariffs is highest in the upper-middle range of the firm-size distribution, as predicted by the model. MERCOSUR: 20 years, Caetano, G. (2011).MERCOSUR: 20 years(No. 337.8 MER).
