The Intensive Margin of Technology Adoption [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010 We present a tractable model for analyzing the relationship between economic growth and the intensive and extensive margins of technology adoption. The "extensive" margin refers to the timing of a country's adoption of a new technology; the "intensive ...

Marginal energy intensity of water supply [PDF]
Energy & Environmental Science, 2021 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.

Financial Dependence and Intensive Margin of Trade [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 We find that financial markets and institutions play distinctive roles in helping exporters survive in foreign markets. The relative importance of banks versus stock markets for export success shifts both across different groups of products and between short-term and long-term export survival.

The Intensive Margin in Trade [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018 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.

Ethnic Networks and Trade: Intensive vs. Extensive Margins [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 Ethnic networks - as proxies for information networks - have been associated with higher levels of international trade. Previous research has not differentiated between the roles of these networks on the extensive and intensive margins. The present paper does so using a model with fixed effects, finding that ethnic networks increase trade on the ...

Fertility Transitions Along the Extensive and Intensive Margins [PDF]
American Economic Review, 2012 By allowing for an extensive margin in the standard quantity-quality model, we generate new insights into fertility transitions. We test the model on Southern black women affected by a large-scale school construction program. Consistent with our model, women facing improved schooling opportunities for their children were more likely to have at least ...

Structural gravity equations with intensive and extensive margins [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, 2010 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.

Identification and Estimation of Intensive Margin Effects by Difference-in-Difference Methods
Journal of Causal Inference, 2020 This paper discusses identification and estimation of causal intensive margin effects. The causal intensive margin effect is defined as the treatment effect on the outcome of individuals with a positive outcome irrespective of whether they are treated or
