Book excerpt: This thesis consists of three essays about international trade and wage inequality. Essay I characterizes optimal trade and FDI policies in a model with monopolistic competition and firm-level heterogeneity similar to Helpman et al. (2004). I find that both the optimal import tariffs and the optimal FDI subsidies discriminate against the more profitable foreign firms. This is because of the existence of a wedge between the private incentives of exporting and FDI firms, and the incentive of the representative agent. Essay II develops an elementary theory of global supply chains. It considers a world economy with an arbitrary number of countries, one factor of production, a continuum of intermediate goods, and one final good. Production of the final good is sequential and subject to mistakes. In the unique free trade equilibrium, countries with lower probabilities of making mistakes at all stages specialize in later stages of production. Using this simple theoretical framework, it offers a first look at how vertical specialization shapes the interdependence of nations. Essay III proposes a model that has as ingredients heterogeneity of workers and firms, complementarity between occupations within each firm and complementarity between workers and firms/occupations. The competitive equilibrium features positive assortative matching and leads to both within- and between- firm wage variations. Comparative static results are then derived to generate new insights about changes in these components of wage inequality.

Book excerpt: The distributional effects of globalization on income have been one of the most important issues in international trade. Whether globalization is one of the explanations of the increasing wage inequality in both developing and developed countries or not has been a debate since 1990s. My dissertation investigates this topic from three aspects: who does trade affect between-group inequality through firm training, market potential and cross-country income, openness and within-group wage inequality. The first chapter incorporates firm-specific training into a recent framework of search model developed by Helpman, Itskhoki and Redding (2010) with heterogeneous firms and two types of workers. More productive firms hire workers with higher average learning ability, invest more on training both skilled and unskilled workers, hire relatively more skilled workers and pay relatively higher wages to skilled workers. Exporting increases wage and training received by workers in a firm with given productivity. For each type of worker, training inequality and wage inequality moves together after opening to trade. Empirical evidence based on firm- and worker-level data is also provided to support model predictions. The second chapter challenges the traditional belief that the US labor productivity advantage in the late 19th century should be attributed to its large domestic market. We assess whether a more general measure of "market access" mattered for the US position in the cross-country distribution of income per capita between 1900 and 1910. After constructing market access measures for 25 countries based on a general equilibrium model of production and trade, the US does not have an overall lead in market access matching its rank in the income distribution. France, Germany and the UK appear to have larger domestic markets than the US. Still, market access does correlate positively with income per capita in the broader sample. We then simulate a general equilibrium trade model with trade costs and provide a calculation of the welfare gains from removing international borders. The largest European countries could not have closed their gap with the US with higher market potential. On the other hand, many small countries could have done so. While market access may not have been crucial for explaining US success, it was an important determinant of real incomes for the most advanced small open-economies. The third chapter provides evidence on the relationship between within-group wage inequality and the degree of openness. One of the key predictions from the theoretical model in Helpman, Itskhoki and Redding (2010) is that there is a non-monotonic relationship between within-group wage inequality and openness, depending on the fraction of exporting firms. In this chapter, I propose a way to test this prediction by constructing a panel data including around 50 manufacturing industries over 34 years. The residuals from Mincer regression is used to calculate within-group wage inequality index. The preliminary results are consistent with these theoretical predictions.

This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive analysis of contemporary issues in international trade and economic development. Emphasising the significance of economic development within policymaking, the book covers important issues like the provisioning of public goods, its implication in a liberalised regime, crime and corruption, skilled–unskilled wage inequality, income distribution and unemployment, environmental regulation and role of educational capital and informal sector. The volume deals with the impact that different aspects of international trade and investment are likely to have on the above-mentioned areas. The essays, written to honour the memory of Professor Sarbajit Chaudhuri, also examine topics that focus on public policy related to immigration of skilled workforce, political resistance and political compulsions that a democratic government might face in keeping with its commitment to tariff reforms, gender wage gap and issues related to globalisation, income distribution and unemployment. The book will be of invaluable interest to postgraduate students, scholars and researchers of development economics, international economics and labour economics and to those working on theoretical research on applications of general equilibrium trade models in developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the study of different aspects of income inequality across and within countries. In the first chapter, I study how the optimal provision of human capital is distorted in the presence of borrowing constraints and private information on talent and wealth. It shows that elitist, non-merit based, access to higher education can be constrained optimal in poor and unequal countries. The second chapter documents how the IT revolution has changed the patterns of North-South trade and analyzes its effects on wage inequality. It provides theoretical and empirical results on wage polarization and a changes in the pattern of specialization. Finally, the third chapter provides a framework for estimating technological diffusion across countries. The framework is applied to study the diffusion of major technologies across the world since the Industrial Revolution. It is shown that differences in technology diffusion in the last two hundred years can account for two thirds of current income per capita differences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis develops empirical methodologies to investigate the effect of globalization on welfare and inequality both between- and within-countries. The first essay proposes a Roy-like model where workers are heterogeneous ill terms of their comparative and absolute advantage. We show that the schedules of comparative and absolute advantage (i) determine changes in the average and the variance of the log-wage distribution, and (ii) are nonparamnetrically identified from the cross-regional variation in the sectoral responses of employment and wages to observable sector-level demand shifters. Applying these results, we find that the rise in world commodity prices accounts for 5-10% of the fall in Brazilian wage inequality between 1991 and 2010. The second essay develops a methodology to construct nonparametric counterfactual predictions, free of functional-form restrictions on preferences and technology, in neoclassical models of international trade. First, we establish the equivalence between such models and reduced exchange models in which countries directly exchange factor services. This equivalence implies that, for an arbitrary change in trade costs, counterfactual changes in factor prices, and welfare only depend on the shape of a reduced factor demand system. Second, we provide sufficient conditions for the nionparainetric identification of this system. Together, these results offer a strict generalization of the parametric approach used in so-called gravity models. Finally, we use China's recent integration into the world economy to illustrate tile feasibility of our approach. The third essay investigates the connection between the recent rise in services trade and changes in labor market outcomes in different countries. We develop a theoretical framework where trade in services arises from the spatial unbundling of workers' task output. Transmission costs endogenously determine the magnitude of between-sector task trade both within a country ("outsourcing") and between countries ("offshoring"). We show that, while differentials in sectoral task prices decrease in response to outsourcing, they increase in response to offshoring. The heterogeneity in the composition of workers' task endowments controls responses in between- and within-sector wage inequality across countries.

Book excerpt: This dissertation is composed of three essays that focus on trade's impacts on inequality. The first essay is an empirical analysis of trade and trade partner inequality, in the context of gravity, covering 128 exporters and 126 importers for years 1982-2000. It reveals import share's negative average effect on income per capita, export share's positive average effect on income per capita, differential effects of trade in favor of more developed countries, and inequality-inducing impact of contemporary trade. The second essay is an empirical analysis of trade and intranational inequality, covering 151 countries for years 1978-2010. It tests three major existing hypotheses that relate the effect of trade openness on intranational inequality. The analysis is then extended to test a non-linear hypothesis, which predicts that the effect of trade openness on intranational inequality is conditional on the level of trade openness. The results indicate that a U shape effect is significant with all three trade openness measures: export share, import share, and trade share. The third essay is a theoretical analysis of trade and international inequality, in the context of dynamic gravity. Key novel expressions are derived: balance condition and barrier-flow dynamic gravity relationship. The balance condition shows that growth of a country's market share and trade ease puts downward pressure on the market share and trade ease of other countries.The barrier-flow dynamic gravity relationship shows that relative trade flows growth rate is inversely proportional to relative trade barriers growth rate. The dissertation contributes to our understanding of trade's impacts on trade partner inequality, intranational inequality, and international inequality.

Book excerpt: '...an important and timely contribution to the study of South-South economic relations. It provides a cogent and detailed analysis...'-Henock Kifle, South Letter '...provides some interesting insights into the determinants and consequences of South-South trade.'- Frances Stewart, The World Economy 'This comprehensive, incisive work....represents both historical depth and topical breadth. ....This well-written analysis makes an important contribution to development studies, including development economics and development geography.'- Georges G. Cravins, The Journal of Asian Studies These essays explore interactions between North and South and South and South in trade, technology and finance, focusing on the interests of the South, and particularly the poor. The 'conventional' neo-classical approach is shown to have many theoretical deficiences, the consequences are often harmful to Southern interests, while the poor are neglected. The author concludes that the South should adopt a bargaining approach to N-S negotiations and urges for closer South-South relations in trade, technology and finance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s joining the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001 signifies a milestone in the country’s global integration after two decades of economic reforms that have fundamentally transformed the economic organization of China. This collection seeks to identify the gendered implications within China of the country’s transition from socialism to a market economy and its opening up to international trade and investment. The changes have created greater wealth for some, while at the same time, serious gender, class, ethnic, and regional disparities have also emerged. Drawing from historical, analytical, and policy-oriented work, the essays in this collection explore women’s well-being relative to men’s in rural and urban China by looking at land rights, labor-market status and labor rights, household decision-making, health, the representation of women in advertising and beauty pageants.
