This thesis investigates different aspects of firm behavior. In the first
chapter I study if the quality of civil justice affects the firms’ participation
to Global Value Chains. I find that firms subject to less efficient courts are
less likely to supply customized intermediate inputs to foreign firms. In the
second chapter I analyze the impact of credit supply shocks on aggregate
productivity. I find that a credit restriction depresses firm-level productivity
growth. At the same time, aggregate productivity is sustained by the
reallocation of resources towards more efficient firms. In the third chapter
I study the determinants of the productivity advantage of firms located in
urban areas. Results show that most of the urban productivity premium is
explained by the sorting of more efficient firms to cities. The rest is explained
by positive agglomeration externalities specific to each city.
