متن کاملTrade, Welfare, and International Labor Market Spillovers
This paper develops a two-country new trade theory framework with two types of labor (skilled and unskilled) and an imperfect labor market arising from country-specific real minimum wages.

The model identifies two key forces that shape the results: i) external scale effects...
