We estimate how trade openness affects the relationship between wages, labour productivity and foreign wages using sector-level time series for several EU member states. In some countries wages became less responsive to foreign wages as trade costs declined. We show this counter-intuitive result...

The roots of low European employment : family culture?

Algan, Yann (contributor); Cahuc, Pierre (contributor) - 2005
