abstract: 'We analyze the effect of rising Chinese import competition between 1990
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and 2007 on US local labor markets, exploiting cross-market variation in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
import exposure stemming from initial differences in industry
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specialization and instrumenting for US imports using changes in Chinese
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
imports by other high-income countries. Rising imports cause higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment, lower labor force participation, and reduced wages in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
local labor markets that house import-competing manufacturing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industries. In our main specification, import competition explains
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one-quarter of the contemporaneous aggregate decline in US manufacturing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. Transfer benefits payments for unemployment, disability,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
retirement, and healthcare also rise sharply in more trade-exposed labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

markets.'
