Objective
This workshop will focus on the use of micro-level data in empirical research of trade related issues. It will be based on so-called “new-new trade theory”. The acquired skills could be used to assist developing countries in building high quality firm level datasets, which are necessary to improve the understanding of firm constraints to do business in general and to export.
