Abstract

Résumé - L’objectif de ce papier est de présenter succinctement la théorie du commerce international avec des firmes hétérogènes. En particulier, nous étudions deux principales variantes d'extensions de cette théorie qui mettent l’accent sur 1) l’endogénéisation de la productivité des firmes et 2) l’incertitude des firmes quant à leur profitabilité à l’exportation. Entre autres, les premières extensions donnent lieu à l’effet d’auto-sélection (en supplément de l’effet de sélection des modèles fondateurs) des firmes les plus productives à l’exportation, à l’effet d’apprentissage par l’exportation et à l’effet d’apprendre à exporter. Les secondes mettent en lumière le phénomène d’entrée-sortie fréquente des firmes sur les marchés d’exportation et le mécanisme d’exportation séquentielle.

Abstract – This paper reviews the recent expansions of theoretical literature on heterogeneous firms and trade, which emphasizes 1) the endogenous firm productivity and 2) the uncertainty of firms about their profitability in export. The first contributions give rise to, inter alia, the effect of self-selection (in addition to the selection effect) of the most productive firms to export, the effect learning-by-exporting, and the effect of learning to export. The second highlights the phenomenon of common entry-exit of firms in export markets and the mechanism of sequential exporting.
