abstract: 'While many studies have quantified the impact of Chinese import
competition on U.S. wages, to my knowledge this is the first study to
also estimate the effect on fringe benefits. This is important because
in the United States, fringe benefits are now more than 30\% of
compensation. I first argue that if trade affects the share of benefits
in compensation, focusing on wages and ignoring fringe benefits may give
us misleading estimates of the effect of trade on workers'' total
compensation. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth
1979, I track the subsequent outcomes of workers who were working in
manufacturing in 1996. Similar to Autor et al. (2014), I find that
exposure to Chinese competition negatively affects wage income. As to
fringe benefits, the effect on participation in a defined benefit
retirement plan and the availability of vacation days is negative and
significant. The effects on other benefits are usually negative but
imprecisely estimated. The effect on the overall dollar value of
benefits is negative and significant. However, in percentage terms, the
effect on benefits is smaller than the effect on wages. This suggests
that, in percentage terms, the impact of Chinese import competition on
overall compensation is less severe than the one found in Autor et al.
(2014) for wages.'
