Previous research indicates that exporting firms are willing to pay a premium to poach workers from other exporting firms if experience working for an internationally engaged firm reduces trade costs. Since international experience is less valuable to non-exporters, we would expect to see...

Globalization might affect the mix of jobs available in an economy and the rate at which workers gain skills. We develop a model in which firms differ in terms of productivity and skills and use the model to examine how globalization affects the wage distribution and the career path of workers...

This paper examines how experience from working in a foreign owned firm affects worker mobility. International experience can provide a worker with knowledge about foreign operations, thereby making them more attractive to other employers who are also engaged in international businesses. We...

We develop a dynamic, stochastic multi-sectoral, equilibrium model that allows for worker turnover, job turnover and career mobility. This serves to bridge the reallocation and job career literatures. Our model makes a number of predictions: a positive correlation between job turnover rates and...

Is the pattern of trade correlated with cross-sector differences in job turnover? Theoretically, external shocks feed through to changes in domestic employment and cross-sector differences in turnover give rise to compensating wage differentials, which feed through to output prices. Using two...
