This paper examines the welfare effects
of international trade on workers in a new dynamic general
equilibrium discrete choice model of labor mobility, where
the workers’ choice set of jobs is endogenous. The analysis
exploits differential exposure of sectors and regions to
destination-specific demand shocks to estimate the impacts
of exports on wages, employment, and labor mobility, using
employer-employee panel data for Brazil. It then employs the
same empirical strategy to estimate structural parameters
and the different components of changes in model-implied
worker welfare. Counterfactual simulations show that the
endogenous number of job options significantly magnifies the
welfare effects of trade shocks. |
