In this paper, I analyze the impact of a trade shock on gender-specific local labor market outcomes in Brazil. I use an instrumental variable approach and population census data for Brazil to estimate the effect of both increased imports from China and increased exports to China on male and female local labor market outcomes from 2000 to 2010. Regions more exposed to imports from China experience slower wage growth in the traded and formal sectors, but the declines are significantly larger for men, particularly in sectors with low shares of female employment. Exports have a positive association with wage growth, but no relationship with employment growth. Import-induced wage declines are coupled with significant employment growth in the formal sector. The gains for women are nearly double those for men, increasing the share of female employment in the formal sector. Regions more exposed to Chinese imports also experience an increase in the female employment to population ratio and a decrease in male and female unemployment rates. Thus, trade with China induces new workers into the labor market, reduces unemployment, and reallocates labor to the formal sector. These employment gains are strongest for women, signaling reduced employment barriers for females. Further, as employment reallocates to the formal sector, occupation segregation declines, highlighting an additional avenue through which trade can have gendered labor market effects.}, keywords = {gender; BRAZIL; LABOR market; TRADE; Occupation segregation}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1879-1034} } @article{MTMT:33781911, title = {Import intensity of India’s manufactured exports: an industry level analysis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33781911}, author = {Paul, Mahua and Kumar, Ramaa Arun}, doi = {10.1007/s41775-020-00104-3}, journal-iso = {NDIAN ECON REV}, journal = {INDIAN ECONOMIC REVIEW}, volume = {56}, unique-id = {33781911}, issn = {0019-4670}, year = {2020}, pages = {67-90} } @article{MTMT:31074941, title = {Offshoring and skill-upgrading in French manufacturing}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31074941}, author = {Carluccio, Juan and Cunat, Alejandro and Fadinger, Harald and Fons-Rosen, Christian}, doi = {10.1016/j.jinteco.2019.01.001}, journal-iso = {J INT ECON}, journal = {JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS}, volume = {118}, unique-id = {31074941}, issn = {0022-1996}, abstract = {Using French manufacturing firm-level data for the years 1996-2007, we uncover a novel set of stylized facts about offshoring behavior: (i) Low-productivity firms ("non-importers") obtain most of their inputs domestically. (ii) Medium-productivity firms offshore skill-intensive inputs to skill-abundant countries and are more labor intensive in their domestic production than non-importers. (iii) Higher-productivity firms additionally offshore labor-intensive inputs to labor-abundant countries and are more skill intensive than non-importers. We develop a model in which heterogeneous firms, subject to fixed costs, can offshore intermediate inputs of different skill intensities to countries with different skill abundance. This leads to endogenous within-industry variation in domestic skill intensities. We provide econometric evidence supporting the factor-proportions channel through which reductions in offshoring costs to labor-abundant countries have significantly increased firm level skill intensities of French manufacturers.
