Bargain, Olivier; Dolls, Mathias; Neumann, Dirk; … - 2013

We analyze to which extent social inequality aversion differs across nations when control- ling for actual country differences in labor supply responses.

Acemoglu, Daron; Autor, David H.; Dorn, David; Hanson, … - 2015

Even before the Great Recession, U.S. employment growth was unimpressive. Between 2000 and 2007, the economy gave back the considerable employment gains achieved during the 1990s, with a historic contraction in manufacturing employment being a prime contributor to the slump. We estimate that...

Foreign competition and domestic innovation : evidence from U.S. patents

Autor, David H.; Dorn, David; Hanson, Gordon H.; … - 2019

Manufacturing accounts for more than three-quarters of U.S. corporate patents. The competitive shock to this sector emanating from China's economic ascent could in theory either augment or stifle U.S. innovation. Using three decades of U.S. patents matched to corporate owners, we quantify how...
