“…Data processing begins with choosing imports that belong to the intermediate inputs and come from 15 countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei Darussalam, Myanmar, the Philippines, Japan, China, South Korea, India, 2 The BEC classification has been widely used in the literature of international trade to identify intermediate inputs, include Amiti et al, (2014), Bøler et al, (2012), andBrandt et al, (2012) Australia, and New Zealand. Then, we matched imports data according to HS and country of origin with WITS data to select possible transactions to be carried out with the FTA mechanism.…”

The good quality of imported goods as input production is needed to produce quality goods. This paper examines the impact of reduced tariffs under FTA scheme on the quality of imported inputs in the Indonesian Automotive Industry in 2015-2019. Quality is measured by the unit value approach. Using data from Customs declaration documents, this paper captures the impact of tariffs on the quality of imported products using the Difference-in-Difference (DiD) method. The result shows that the reduction in tariffs does not have a significant impact on improving the quality of imported products. Most of Indonesia's automotive exports are dominated by less developed countries. Thus, producers do not take advantage of the reduction in tariffs to improve the quality of imported products to adapt purchasing power in the export market. They focus more on productivity to produce cheaper goods so that export products become more competitive in the export market in terms of price.

“…3 | DATA AND BACKGROUND We strictly follow Brandt, Van Biesebroeck, and Zhang (2012) in matching the annual data into a panel and deflating the output and input data using their price indices. In particular, we have used the price indices of intermediate inputs updated in Brandt, Van Biesebroeck, Wang, and Zhang (2019). 9 Real capital stock is constructed by the perpetuity inventory method.…”

This paper examines the productivity effect of two categories of core infrastructure investment in China, by matching a panel of manufacturing firm‐level production data with province‐level infrastructure investment data. Cross‐industry variation in infrastructure reliance using input–output table information is employed to address potential endogeneity issues. We find that firms in an industry that relies more heavily on infrastructure in production experience higher productivity growth from more infrastructure investment. On average, the annual rate of return to core infrastructure investment in China is about 23% during 1998–2007.

“…There were also gains to non-importers but these were smaller, so the average elasticity across all firms was -0.44 Topalova and Khandelwal (2011). estimate the elasticity to be -0.5 in Indian data, andBrandt et al (2017) andBrandt et al (2019) estimate the elasticity to be -2.3 in Chinese data Bloom et al (2016). find that Chinese import competition accounts for 14% of European technology upgrading.…”

This paper develops a method of using financial data to understand the expected impact of trade policy on welfare and other real variables when the policy has heterogeneous and uncertain impacts on firms. We embed a firm-level specific factors model in a consumption capital asset pricing model to map expected cash-flow movements into expected movements in productivity, wages, and welfare. Using our framework, we find that the U.S.-China trade war caused increases in uncertainty and large declines in U.S. stock prices, expected cash flows, and expected productivity. We estimate that the expected decline in U.S. welfare is 4.9 percentage points.
