| The FOB Prevalence Puzzle:Trade Costs and the Trade Terms Adoption of Heterogeneous Firms |

| Abstract: |
| As one of the eleven terms in the Incoterms rules, FOB has been used most widely even if it may
increase the exporter’s trade risk. By extending the trade model of the existing heterogeneous firms, the paper
states the influencing mechanism that the trade costs exert on the firms’ choice of trade terms. The model shows
that the duality of economy, distortions in the factor market and the prevalence of processing exporter contribute to
the prevalence of FOB. The diversification of trade terms can improve the social welfare by enhancing the firms’
export opportunities. Adjusting the relative trade costs between domestic and foreign markets is of vital importance
to reduce the exporter’s risk and balance the domestic and foreign demands |
| Key words: FOB heterogeneous firms trade costs |
