Effects on Employment of Trade and Technical Change: Evidence from Norway.
A study was conducted using matched employer-employee data to explore trade and technology-related explanations for the change in plant-level skill composition in Norway. Findings revealed that the changes were occurring chiefly as a result of a reallocation of labor resources between plants within...

Findings revealed that the changes were occurring chiefly as a result of a reallocation of labor resources between plants within sectors, thus resulting in greater distribution of skills across establishments. Furthermore, it was found that estimations of plant-level dynamic demand functions supported skill-biased technological change, through a positive gross job creation effect; a strong effect from trade was evident along the gross job destruction margin for low- and medium-educated workers in sectors open to increased competition from abroad; and highly educated employees were observed to be insulated from negative trade effects. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
