abstract: 'This study proposes a simple theory of trade with endogenous firm
|
||
|
|
||
|
productivity, occupational choice and income inequality. Individuals
|
||
|
|
||
|
with different managerial talent choose to become entrepreneurs or
|
||
|
|
||
|
workers. Entrepreneurs enhance firm productivity by investing in
|
||
|
|
||
|
managerial capital. The model generates three income classes: low-income
|
||
|
|
||
|
workers facing the prospect of unemployment, middle-income entrepreneurs
|
||
|
|
||
|
managing domestic firms and high-income entrepreneurs managing global
|
||
|
|
||
|
firms. Trade liberalization policies raise unemployment and improve
|
||
|
|
||
|
welfare. A reduction in per-unit trade costs raises top incomes and
|
||
|
|
||
|
generates labour-market polarization. A reduction in fixed exporting
|
||
|
|
||
|
costs has an ambiguous effect on top incomes and personal income
|
||
|
|
||
|
distribution. Policies reducing labour-market frictions or the costs of
|
||
|
|
||
|
managerial-capital acquisition create more jobs and improve welfare. The
|
||
|
|
||
|
income distributional effects of labour-market policies depend on which
|
||
|
|
||
|
policy is implemented.'
