DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs’ Trade\, Development a
 nd Political Economy Series presents John McLaren.Numerous researchers hav
 e documented wage losses and local labor markets hit by rising import comp
 etition.&nbsp\; In a wide variety of settings\, labor incomes in locations
  dependent on import-competing industries fall relative to incomes in othe
 r locations.&nbsp\; This paper attempts to see if there are differences in
  these effects between demographic groups in the US case in the context of
  the most studied example\, commonly referred to as the "China Shock."&nbs
 p\; We examine the "matched CPS\," which allows us to observe year-to-year
  economic transitions of a sample of US workers\, to see if the losses in 
 labor income fall more heavily on identifiable demographic groups.&nbsp\; 
 We find that income losses are more likely in the face of a trade shock fo
 r workers in manufacturing\; married workers\; and workers with children -
 - the latter two plausibly because switching costs are greater.&nbsp\;&nbs
 p\;John McLaren is a Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia.
 &nbsp\; His research interests are International Trade\, Political Economy
 \, Industrial Organization\, Economic Development\, and the effects of Eco
 nomic Globalization.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
