The opportunity costs of entrepreneurs in international trade

Abstract

We show that a trade model with an exogenous set of heterogeneous firms with fixed operating costs has the same aggregate outcomes as a span-of-control model.Fixed costs in the heterogeneous-firm model are entrepreneurs' forgone wages in the span-of-control model.
