10517_5 | Firms differ in their labor productivity and the quality of their goods produced. It is because of this that more efficient firms are more likely to generate more net income abroad and thus become exporters of their goods or services.

10517_7 | The literature assumed that due to the competitive nature of reverse auctions, and in order to compensate for lower prices and lower margins, suppliers seek higher volumes to maintain or increase the total revenue.

He then suggests the possibility of abandoning the assumption of free competition to address the study of firms that have their own particular market.
