Book Synopsis State and Regional Variation in the Effects of Trade on Job Displacement in the US Manufacturing Sector, 1982-1999 by : Roger White
Book excerpt: Worker-level data from the 1984-2000 Displaced Worker Surveys is employed to examine geographic variation in the effects of trade on manufacturing workers' probabilities of job displacement. Considerable variation is reported across regions. The net effect of trade is an increase in displacement probabilities for workers in the North Central and Middle Atlantic regions, yet trade has led to lower displacement probabilities in the Plains/West and Pacific regions. Examination at the state-level results in similar variation, although the estimated effects of trade in many instances are ambiguous as estimated displacement probabilities increase or decrease dependent upon the measure of trade employed.
