How and why this disparity has arisen is a matter of ongoing debate among policymakers and economists. Two competing theories have emerged to explain this phenomenon, one focusing on international trade and labor market globalization as the driving force behind the devaluation of low-skill jobs, and the other focusing on the role of technological change as a catalyst for the escalation of high-skill wages. This collection brings together innovative new ideas and data sources in order to provide more satisfying alternatives to the trade versus technology debate and to assess directly the specific impact of international trade on U.S. wages. This timely volume offers a thorough appraisal of the wage distribution predicament, examining the continued effects of technology and globalization on the labor market. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aForeign trade and employment$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aInternational trade$vCongresses 606 $aWages$zUnited States$vCongresses 610 $atrade, wages, economics, finance, business, international, investment, wage differential, skills, labor, employment, income, globalization, technology, engineering, foreign, education, inequality, offshore assembly, production, manufacturing, competition, exchange rates, nonfiction, product price, job loss, factories, premiums, incentives. 615 0$aForeign trade and employment 615 0$aInternational trade 615 0$aWages 676 $a331.2/973 701 $aFeenstra$b Robert C$0126602 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777033003321 996 $aThe impact of international trade on wages$93816091 997 $aUNINA
