Trade, growth and wage inequality in Bangladesh
Using model selection techniques based on out-of-sample predictive ability criterion in a Vector Autoregression (VAR) framework, this paper empirically examines the causal relations among growth, trade, and wage inequality in Bangladesh between 1971 and 2000. There is some evidence of bi-directional causality between growth and inequality and between trade and growth. That growth causes trade a...
متن کاملWage Effects of Trade Reform with Endogenous Worker Mobility
a r t i c l e i n f o In this paper, we use a linked employer–employee database from Brazil to evaluate the wage effects of trade reform. With an aggregate (firm-level) analysis of this question, we find that a decline in trade protection is associated with an increase in average wages in exporting firms relative to domestic firms, consistent with earlier studies. However, using disaggregated, ...
متن کاملTaxation, Infrastructure, and Endogenous Trade Costs in New Economic Geography
This paper presents a New Economic Geography model with distortionary taxation and endogenized trade costs. Tax revenues finance a public good, infrastructure. We show that the introduction of costly public investment in infrastructure increases agglomerative tendencies. With respect to the regions’ sizes, in the periphery, the price-index for manufacturing goods decreases, whereas for the core...
متن کاملEndogenous Growth, Skill-Biased Technical Change and Wage Inequality
In this contribution, we present an endogenous growth model which essentially extends the idea of the paper by Murphy, Riddell and Romer (1998). In that paper, the authors assume that technical progress leads to wage differentials between high-skilled workers and unskilled workers. As technical progress occurs, the relative marginal productivity of different input changes. Yet, if there is suff...
متن کاملBeyond Trade Costs: Firms’ Endogenous Access to International Markets
In this paper we argue that the level of access to international markets by firms is related not only to exogenous factors such as trade costs, but also with endogenous factors such as strategic competition on R&D. In particular, we show that: (1) higher efficiency of R&D (like low trade costs) makes trade more easy for firms (given that R&D increases the profitability of exports); (2) firms wi...
