abstract: 'This paper studies the implications of globalization for aggregate
|
|
|
|
output and welfare when risk averse workers face the risk of
|
|
|
|
unemployment. The impact of globalization on the welfare of workers and
|
|
|
|
aggregate output depends on the degree of substitutability between
|
|
|
|
domestic workers and imported inputs. When the degree of
|
|
|
|
substitutability is high (low), then globalization reduces (increases)
|
|
|
|
wages and increases (reduces) unemployment. Irrespective of the
|
|
|
|
substitutability, free trade doesn''t maximize the aggregate output. A
|
|
|
|
small tariff (import subsidy) increases aggregate output when the
|
|
|
|
substitutability is low (high), however, it can exacerbate the
|
|
|
|
distributional conflict. Domestic labor market policies such as
|
|
|
|
unemployment benefits and severance payments can protect workers against
|
|
|
|
labor income risk but the firing restrictions do not. Free trade is
|
|
|
|
optimal when labor market policies provide insurance against
|
|
|
|
unemployment. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.'
