We study the evolution of trade liberalization's effects on Brazilian local labor markets.
Regions facing larger tariff cuts experienced prolonged declines in formal sector …

While neoclassical theory emphasizes the impact of trade on wage inequality between
occupations and sectors, more recent theories of firm heterogeneity point to the impact of …

The last two decades have witnessed a shift in the focus of international trade research from
trade policy to other forms of trade frictions (eg, transportation, information and …

This paper estimates a structural dynamic equilibrium model of the Brazilian labor market in
order to study trade‐induced transitional dynamics. The model features a multi‐sector …

In this paper, we survey the recent empirical literature on the effects of offshoring on wage,
employment, and displacement. We start with an overview of the measurement of offshoring …

We develop a multi-sector gravity model with heterogeneous workers to quantify the
aggregate and group-level welfare effects of trade. The model generalizes the specific …

The welfare effects of trade shocks turn on the nature and magnitude of the costs workers
face in moving between sectors. Using an Euler-type equilibrium condition derived from a …

What are the consequences of international trade on the skill premium? We incorporate skill-
intensity differences across firms and sectors into a standard model of international trade …

In this article we argue that wage inequality and occupational mobility are intimately related.
We are motivated by our empirical findings that human capital is occupation specific and that …

This paper explores the combined effects of reductions in trade frictions, tariffs, and firing
costs on firm dynamics, job turnover, and wage distributions. It uses establishment-level data …
