Abstract: Trade effects the size of firms in the economy differentially. Exporting firms tend to become larger relative to non-exporting firms. This affects different workers in the economy differentially. We develop a two-sided matching model with heterogeneous firms and heterogeneous workers and firm size, and study how the opening to trade effects both firm size and the wage distribution.
