    Dalia MARIN (Munich) : DO MULTINATIONALS TRANSPLANT THEIR BUSINESS MODEL?
    Abstract
    ecent literature on international trade has established that the most productive firms become multinationals. But our data reveal a startling variation in productivity levels of subsidiaries across countries of the same parent firms suggesting that not all multinationals transplant their home productivity advantage to other countries. One candidate for this startling difference in productivity levels among subsidiaries is the ability of multinationals to transport their business model abroad. This paper examines the conditions under which multinationals transplant their business culture to other countries. We collect original and unique matched parent and affiliate data on the internal organisation of 660 German and Austrian parent firms and 2200 of their subsidiaries in Eastern Europe. Based on these data we ask two questions: First, what favours decentralization in Foreign Affiliates of Multinationals? Second, what determines whether or not multinationals transplant theirs business model to foreign affiliates? We find that the ability of multinationals to transplant their business model to foreign affiliates is determined by the organisation of the multinational organization on the one hand and the market environment affiliate firms face in host countries on the other hand.

    David WEINSTEIN (Columbia) : Exports and Financial Shocks
    Abstract
    A striking feature of many financial crises is the collapse of exports relative to output. In the 2008 financial crisis, real world exports plunged 17 percent while GDP fell 5 percent. This paper examines whether the drying up of trade finance can help explain the large drops in exports relative to output. This paper is the first to establish a causal link between the health of banks providing trade finance and growth in a firm’s exports relative to its domestic sales. We overcome measurement and endogeneity issues by using a unique data set, covering the Japanese financial crises of the 1990s, which enables us to match exporters with the main bank that provides them with trade finance. Our point estimates are economically and statistically significant, suggesting that trade finance accounts for about one-third of the decline in Japanese exports in the financial crises of the 1990s.
