“…A different strand of literature has studied the role of networks in facilitating international trade; see e.g. Rodrik (2000), Rauch (2001), Casella and Rauch (2002), Rauch and Trindade (2002), Wagner et al (2002), Rauch and Casella (2003), Combes et al (2005), Tang (2006), Bandyopadhyay et al (2008), Kikuchi (2009). Networks and connections reduce the disadvantage presented by informational barriers, and hence reduce the cost of economic transactions.…”

This paper uses a newly assembled multi-country multi-industry firm-level dataset to test the effect of productivity and networking on the export probability of firms. Results are in line with the new-new trade theory and with the literature on the information value of networks. Firms are more likely to export if they are more productive, larger, and if they benefit from foreign networks (ownership and financial linkages), domestic networks (chamber of commerce, links to regulation), and communication networks (E-mail, internet). Firms bear a lower probability of exporting if they are affected by state ownership or unionization networks. Overall, firms with better network connections by one standard deviation enjoy a 15% higher probability of exporting.

“…As exhaustively summarized by Jackson (2008Jackson ( , 2010, the role of individual links and social networks has now been widely explored in the theoretical literature, as in the theory of international trade (e.g. Casella and Rauch, 2002;Rauch, 2001) or the analysis of non-competitive markets (e.g. Goyal and Joshi, 2003).…”

“…Additionally, changes in the relative threat points of agents will also alter the total surplus received by the two agents. This is in contrast to much of the existing literature in this area, in which matched agents jointly produce an exogenous level of output while bargaining only determines the division of output (surplus from matching) (see Casella and Rauch 2002;Davidson, Martin, and Matusz 1987, 1991, 1999.…”

“…In particular, he stresses that immigration helps to reduce market frictions inherent in international trade: 'immigrants bring with them foreign market information and contacts that can lower the transactions costs of trade. ' Casella and Rauch (2002) further emphasize these aspects in their work on ethnic ties: 'Connections to local agents facilitate entry into foreign unfamiliar markets by providing ''insider knowledge'' . .…”

We utilize a random-matching model to examine the relationships between market frictions and international trade. In our setting, an individual may choose to search abroad where she may have a cost advantage, but is less likely to meet potential trading partners, owing to higher market frictions. Interestingly, we find that international trade may be associated with lower welfare than autarky. We show how this is due to price distortions resulting from bargaining when there are opportunities for exchange across countries. JEL classification F10, C78, D83Echanges internationaux de´centralise´s. Les auteurs utilisent un mode`le d'arrimage ale´a-toire pour examiner les relations entre les couˆts de transaction dans le marche´et le commerce international. On postule qu'un individu peut choisir de chercher des partenaires commerciaux dans d'autres pays ou`il peut avoir un avantage de couˆts mais qu'il est moins susceptible de rencontrer de tels partenaires a`cause des couˆts de transaction. Il appert que le commerce international peut eˆtre associe´a`un niveau de bien-eˆtre plus bas que ce que ge´ne´rerait l'autarcie. On montre comment cela est attribuable aux distorsions de prix qui de´coulent du marchandage quand il y a des opportunite´s d'e´change entre pays.
