Trade adjustment and job reallocation: evidence from french worker-firm matched data

Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter au prochain séminaire du CREAM. Le séminaire aura lieu le Vendredi 21 Mai 2021 de 12h30 à 13h30 en salle virtuelle ( /!\ ce séminaire, exceptionnellement, ne se tiendra pas un jeudi). Je vous présenterai un papier coécrit avec Carl Gaigné (Inrae - UMR Smart): « Trade adjustment and job reallocation: evidence from french worker-firm matched data». 

Résumé:
«Recent empirical literature finds very large and permanent effects of exposure to international trade on earnings and employment status.  While previous studies describe the individual worker trajectories, we know little about the reallocation process towards new job. Over the period 2002-2012, we exploit a unique matched data set of French unemployment and employment registers that covers unemployment and employment episodes over 10 years. Our results show that the impact of international competition on worker trajectories depends on the level of qualification. While highly skilled workers suffer moderate wage losses and are reallocated toward more productive firms, blue-collar workers face high wage losses and are not reallocated toward highly productive firms».
