Summary: | For many in Latin America, the
increasing participation of China and India in international
markets is seen as a looming shadow of two "mighty
giants" on the region's manufacturing sector. Are
they really mighty giants when it comes to their impact on
manufacturing employment? The authors attempt to answer this
question by estimating the effects of trade with China and
India on Argentina's industrial employment. They use a
dynamic econometric model and industry level data to
estimate the effects of trade with China and India on the
level of employment in Argentina's manufacturing
sector. Results suggest that trade with China and India only
had a small negative effect on industrial employment, even
during the swift trade liberalization of the 1990s. |
