Do Prices Determine Vertical Integration? Evidence from Trade Policy

lauraalfaro0, paolaconconi0, haraldfadinger, andrewnewman0, Sun, 10/28/2012

The authors construct firm-level indices of vertical integration for a large set of countries and industries and exploit cross-section and time-series variation in import tariffs to examine the impact of prices on organisational choices.
