In your paper you mention that the match theory would be ideal for “…international trade, primarily decentralization and frictions”. I was wondering what do you mean by decentralization and frictions, are you talking about entry berries such as tariffs? I think it would be a wise decision to go in depth and explore these frictions and see how they influence international trade. Another topic you can go into would be comparing countries that have those frictions with other countries that do not have those frictions.

In the impact of findings section of the paper you have several graphs. But I’m having a hard time understanding them. Could you provide an explanation to things such as B, and C2. I believe this question was raised after your presentation however I’m still not sure as to the meaning of these variables. In this section you also talk about welfare, are you talking about national welfare, importer / exporter welfare or both?
