abstract: 'We propose a simple theory of endogenous firm productivity,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
unemployment, and top income inequality. High-talented individuals
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
choose to become self-employed entrepreneurs and acquire more managerial
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(human) capital; whereas low-talented individuals become workers and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
face the prospect of equilibrium unemployment. In a two-country global
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
economy, trade openness raises firm productivity, increases top income
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inequality, and may reduce welfare in the country exporting the good
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with lower relative labor-market frictions. Trade openness reduces firm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
productivity, lowers top income inequality, and necessarily raises
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
welfare in the other country. The effect of trade on unemployment is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ambiguous. Unilateral job-creating policies increase welfare in both
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
countries. However, they reduce unemployment and raise top income
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inequality in the policy-active country; and reduce top income
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inequality while increasing unemployment in the policy-passive country.
