Thank YOU for the invitation. It was great fun to visit Cologne after so many years, and to attend the first day of #VfS_Conf2025

In case you are interested, here are the slides of my talk: t.co/NKxEXeda4N

I visited the University of Basel last December and sat down with Rolf Weder to discuss several aspects of my research and of global trade. A lot has changed in the last 4 months, but some of what I say may still be of relevance😅

9/ Key takeaway: Production length is an important but overlooked aspect of production and firm behavior. We hope that our measure will find broader applications across fields.

8/ The negative relationship between APPs and capital costs holds across countries and industries. Even in sector-specific regressions, most industries show a similar pattern.

7/ Extending the analysis worldwide: APP rankings are highly correlated across countries. Some industries naturally require long production periods, regardless of where they are carried out.
