The analysis addresses a major gap in the literature, which has heretofore provided limited evidence about the trade-related adjustment costs faced by workers in developing countries and how they are affected by mobility costs. Labor market frictions reduce the potential gains from trade reform. For a tariff reduction in a given sector, the resulting change in relative prices raises real wages in some sect 410 0$aDirections in development (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aBusiness cycles$zDeveloping countries 606 $aLabor market$zDeveloping countries 606 $aLabor mobility$zDeveloping countries 606 $aWages$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xCommerce 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBusiness cycles 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aLabor mobility 615 0$aWages 676 $a331.12 702 $aHollweg$b Claire H. 702 $aNaylor$b Debra 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464808103321 996 $aSticky feet$92479413 997 $aUNINA
