In this study, we invested how firm dynamics reacts to tariffs/barriers. We used Continental Blockade as a natural experiment which is an external effect on the firms, to show their capacity to survive. In particular, we study firms that trade between United Kingdom and abroad before and during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1810). To reach firm data we use Lloyd's Register of Ships (Underwriter) which was published by Lloyd’s Marine Insurance, Company established a new society to organize this publication to guide its members and Lloyd's List Newspaper which is a bi-weekly newspaper for shipping and financial news and most importantly printed for all ships sailing from and to UK ports and important ports of the world. We collected firm size and trade destination data on traders. We estimate simple descriptive regressions to understand effect of The Blockade on different size and different geographical markets.
