Abstract
âºEstimates of the power law distribution of firm size are biased given trade. âºWe show how this bias arises in a canonical heterogeneous firm model of trade. âºWe suggest alternative estimators of the power law exponent that accounts for trade. âºThe power law exponent among exporters is strictly lower than for non-exporting firms.
