摘要
This paper investigates the effect of increased import competition on U.S. manufacturing employment and wages, using data for a panel of manufacturing industries over the 1977-1987 period. The empirical analysis uses previously unavailable industry import price data and an instrumental variables estimation strategy. The estimates suggest that changes in import prices have a significant effect on both employment and wages. The dramatic appreciation of the dollar between 1980 and 1985 is estimated to have reduced wages by 2 percent, and employment by 4.5-7.5 percent on average in this sample of trade-impacted industries.
