Abstract
⺠This paper models two dimensions of firm heterogeneity, productivity and demand shocks. ⺠Various trade policies faced by Bangladeshi garment exporters to the US and EU are incorporated. ⺠Predictions about how firms sort themselves across markets in response to differences in trade policies are made. ⺠These predictions are tested non-parametrically and shown to be supported empirically. ⺠Preferences provided by developed countries may not be as liberal as they seem due to strict rules of origin.
