Abstract This paper studies how the export participation and labour training decisions of domestic manufacturers are affected by reduced trade barriers due to a regional agreement. We develop general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firm‐level productivity two destinations explain firm performance following liberalisation.

Abstract El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has been shown to relate the epidemiology of childhood infectious diseases, but evidence for whether they increase child deaths is limited. Here, we investigate impact mothers’ ENSO exposure during and prior delivery on mortality by constructing a retrospective cohort study in 38 low- middle-income countries. We find that high levels indices cumulated over 0–12 lagged months before are associated with significant increases risks under-five...
