Marginal energy intensity of water supply [PDF]
Marginal energy intensity (MEI) rigorously disaggregates energy consumption across a complex water supply system to the resolution of individual consumers. MEI is a robust metric for optimizing water utility energy management and retrofit strategies.

The impact of taxes on the extensive and intensive margins of FDI [PDF]
It is well documented that foreign investment inflows are deterred by host taxes. What is less clear, however, is the degree to which these aggregate changes are driven by firm choices at the extensive (whether to invest) or intensive (how much to invest) margins.

The Intensive Margin in Trade [PDF]
The Melitz model highlights the importance of the extensive margin (the number of firms exporting) for trade flows. Using the World Bank’s Exporter Dynamics Database (EDD) featuring firm-level exports from 50 countries, we find that around 50% of variation in exports is along the extensive margin — a quantitative victory for the Melitz framework.

Structural gravity equations with intensive and extensive margins [PDF]
Abstract Recent trade models with heterogeneous firms have changed the interpretation of gravity equations. Chaney (2008) shows that the effect of distance on the number of exporters and average exports depends on key parameters characterizing the elements of market structure.
