Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Technological change has reduced the relative price of capital
goods. Reductions in trade costs make it cheaper to import capital
goods. With capital-skill complementarity, both can increase the skill
premium. I construct a general-equilibrium trade model with capital-skill complementarity to study the impact of changing worldwide trade costs and technologies on the skill premium. The impacts of trade costs and technical change are comparable, especially in developing countries, and much larger than Stolper-Samuelson effects. I find that both skilled and unskilled labor gain from trade, and that larger gains from trade are associated with larger increases in the skill premium. (JEL E22, F11, F16, J24, O33)
