abstract: 'This paper analyzes the impact of import competition and dynamic labor

  adjustment on gender outcomes in wages and welfare in the U.S.. I

  consider a dynamic model of sectoral choice and structurally estimate

  mobility costs using data from the Current Population Survey and

  O{*}NET. A measure of intersectoral distance in task characteristics

  facilitates the structural estimation of switching costs that vary by

  gender and across sectors. In a set of trade shock simulations, an

  import competition shock in the manufacturing sector disproportionately

  affects male employment and wages. Since manufacturing is male labor

  intensive and men face higher exit costs from manufacturing, wage and

  welfare gains from trade are higher for women than men. (C) 2018
