Globalization, roundaboutness, and relative wages
Francois, Joseph F.; Grier, Kevin; Nelson, Douglas R. - 2004
We depart from the trade and wages literature and its emphasis on North-South trade, examining North-North by developing the basic linkages between trade-based integration and relative wages in an Ethier-type division of labor model. Using this model we identify a formal relationship between...

Globalization and Labor Market Outcomes : Wage Bargaining, Search Frictions, and Firm Heterogeneity
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Prat, Julien; Schmerer, Hans‐Jörg - 2021
We introduce search unemployment - la Pissarides into Melitz' (2003) model of trade with heterogeneous firms. We allow wages to be individually or collectively bargained and analytically solve for the equilibrium. We find that the selection effect of trade influences labor market outcomes. Trade...

International trade, union wage premia, and welfare in general equilibrium
Kreickemeier, Udo; Meland, Frode - 2011
We study how two distinct forms of globalisation, trade cost reductions and opening up of trade in previously shielded sectors, affect sector-specific wages, employment levels and aggregate welfare in a two-country model of general oligopolistic equilibrium (GOLE) with partly unionised labour...
