Which Parts of Globalization Matter for Catch-Up Growth?
Romer, Paul M. - 2014

Riding the Wave of Trade : Explaining the Rise of Labor Regulation in the Golden Age of Globalization
Huberman, Michael - 2010

Trade Policy and Wage Inequality : A Structural Analysis with Occupational and Sectoral Mobility
Artuc, Erhan - 2012
