Abstract. I study how supplier contracting frictions shape the patterns of intermediate input use and quantify the impact of these distortions on aggregate productivity. Using the frequency of litigation between US firms as a novel measure to capture the need for formal enforcement, I find a robust relationship between countries' input-output structure and their quality of legal institutions. In countries with high enforcement costs, firms have lower expenditure shares on intermediate inputs in sector pairs where US firms litigate frequently for breach of contract. A quantitative model shows that improvement of contract enforcement institutions would lead to sizable welfare gains.

We know a lot about Brendan Sorsby, former quarterback at the University of Cincinnati, who will play for Texas Tech next year. But in all the stories about his new contract, worth up to $5 million, I could find no mention of a college major . . .
He is pictured below playing for the Indiana Hoosiers. Sheesh, I’m glad he left that school. Who plays football at a basketball school? /s

Fourth Circuit remands attempt to enforce an arbitral award from Bermuda. Not clear that one of the parties is a foreign corporation because it may have its principal place of business in Florida. New York Convention applies only if one of the parties is not a U.S. citizen, so the District Court will have to determine the location of the defendant’s principal place of business.
