Abstract

We build a trade model that simultaneously embeds vertical product differentiation, within- country heterogeneous income, heterogeneous goods, and many countries. Under some spec- ifications of costs and preferences, we can establish the existence of the general equilibrium and obtain a very tractable quantification model. We estimate all of the model parameters by applying the model properties on OECD countries. We finally quantify the effect of trade costs and economic shocks – like Brexit – on each country’s share of high-quality goods.
