“…In an ongoing research project, Bernard and Zi (2021) recognize the problematic definition of a 'bin' in Bernard et al (2018c) and pursue a purely stochastic balls and bins approach. Similar to our paper, they argue that models with rich microeconomic structure at the firm-to-firm level should be benchmarked against a purely probabilistic framework.…”

“…Instead of excluding optimizing agents from the model, however, we strip only the legal entity 'firm' of its economic content, while keeping the underlying economic transactions of a fully microfounded model. 15 Parallel and independent research by Bernard and Zi (2021) complements our analysis by applying the purely stochastic approach with a discrete number of balls and bins to firm-to-firm trade. Under general firm size distributions, the authors investigate the information content of data under a large class of statistical transformations and at different aggregation levels.…”

International NGO campaigns criticizing firms for infringements along their internationalized value chains are a salient feature of economic globalization. We argue that understanding the international patterns of NGO campaigns requires accounting for the geography of their targets' economic activities. We propose a model of global sourcing and international trade in which heterogeneous NGOs campaign against heterogeneous firms in response to infringements along their international value chains. We find that campaigns are determined by a triadic gravity equation where all three bilateral trade costs matter for NGO campaigns. Importantly, the sourcing trade costs between the supplier and the firm, which do not involve the country of the NGO, shape the patterns of NGO campaigns through their effect on the sourcing decision of firms. We use recently available data on NGO campaigns to estimate our triadic gravity equation and find strong support for this prediction.
