Trade impacts on skill formation: welfare improvements accompanied by rises in inequality
概要:
(Abstract)
In this paper, we focus on the skill formation when considering the trade impacts on labor markets. Although workers are identical as unskilled labor, they differ in their productivity as skilled. Workers become skilled by incurring the training costs. Introducing the above settings into a trade model with monopolistic competition, we show that trade opening enhances skill formation. This is because trade enriches the varieties of differentiated goods and raises the utility of a worker for a given income. This effect works stronger for the skilled than for the unskilled although it makes all agents better off, leading to higher skill formation. However, it may be accompanied by rises in the real wage disparity between skilled and unskilled workers and by rises in the skilled wage inequality. Finally, we examine the possible effects of foreign direct investment on the labor market structure as well.

本稿では、国際貿易が労働者の技術形成に与える影響を分析する。 労働者はトレーニングコストを支払う事で技術形成を行えるという設定を独占的 競争の国際貿易モデルに組み込んだモデルを構築し、国際貿易の進展が労働者の 技術形成を促進させる事を示した。国際貿易は経済全体の構成を向上させるが、 技術を持った労働者の厚生をより、向上させる。つまりスキルプレミアムが上昇 する。同時に技術を持った労働者間の賃金格差も拡大する。最後に、FDIが労働市場に与える影響も分析した。
