Should we stay or should we go? Firms' adjustment to trade shocks
écrit avec Holger Breilnich
Services account for one-third of global trade, yet little is known about the impact of trade restrictions on services trade. To make progress in this area, it is crucial to understand through which Modes services are traded (cross-border, movement of people, foreign investment or consumption abroad) and how firms substitute among these Modes. We provide novel micro-level evidence on firms' Mode choices, combining detailed data on UK firms' trade and affiliates' sales. We also estimate the substitution between trade Modes using Brexit as an exogenous shock, finding that UK firms increasingly relied on local affiliate sales to serve the EU market after 2016. This shift protected firm-level services exports from expected higher trade barriers after Brexit, but at the cost of lower domestic employment.

Collaboration in Technology and Multinational Production
This paper studies how inter-firm collaboration in technology relates to global production choices.
Building a structural multinational production model that incorporates technology choices and allows
for collaboration when choosing the optimal assembly location for a given variety that is sold in a
specific destination market, I find that both technology choice and sharing of platforms as input
technology have important effects on the cost, and, thus, the expected profits of firms. Conditional
on technology, a firm’s cost of serving a market increases by 1% compared to a scenario where firm
choices are agnostic to input technology. On the other hand, allowing for collaboration reduces their
cost by 4%. These effects propagate through the firm’s entry choices and, thus, shape the global
production landscape

Campaign Finance Quotas and Descriptive Representation: Evidence from Brazil, 2002-2022
Can the public funding of parties and campaigns be used to increase descriptive
representation in elected office? Despite the adoption of gender quotas across over 130
countries since 1995 aiming to raise the share of women in parliament to 30 percent, its
global average remains at 26 percent. Beyond quotas, ear-marking public campaign funds for
minority candidates is another policy tool that countries have experimented with to level the
playing field in access to campaign resources, and remains understudied. We study the
efficiency of a novel 2021 reform in Brazil that goes further than earmarking in tying the
allocation of public funds to the performance of female and racial minority candidates. Using
a triple-diff strategy and exploiting a unique feature in the institutional setting that induces
financial incentives in federal but not in state legislative elections, we causally identify the
impact of the reform on candidate performance in the 2022 general election. We find that the
reform improved the performance of white women and black men but not that of black
women, suggesting an intersectionality penalty. We conduct a voter survey experiment to
discard demand-driven effects and qualitative interviews with party officials to explore
different potential mechanisms driving the effect.
