Comments on “The Effect of a Common Currency on the Volatility of the Extensive Margin of Trade”.

Summary In this note, we correct two typos contained in the published version of Auray et al. (2012), which affect the quantitative results, without modifying the qualitative results and then the message of the paper. In addition, we present a modified pricing rule for exported goods, and allow export prices to be sticky as well. This extension slightly improves the quantitative predictions of the model. Finally, predictions are made closer to the data when considering an alternative inflation target.
