Abstract
⺠We model heterogeneous firms' choices of exporting output and importing inputs. ⺠We estimate the model using Chilean plant-level data. ⺠The estimated model is consistent with data on plant productivity and importing. ⺠Our experiments show large aggregate productivity and welfare gains due to trade. ⺠We show that policies which limit imports of inputs significantly inhibit exports.
