| Summary: | The paper is structured in six further
sections following this introduction. Section two develops a
conceptual framework, and reviews the literature on the
relationship between trade integration and labor market
outcomes. Section three outlines the empirical framework and
data used in the analysis. Section four presents results on
the relationship between overall trade integration (through
exports) and labor market outcomes. Section five then
focuses specifically on GVC trade, and assesses the
relationship between labor market outcomes and GVC
integration as a buyer and as a seller. Section six tests if
select policy indicators mediate these relationships between
trade integration and labor market outcomes. Finally,
section seven concludes, with a summary of results and areas
for future research. |
