DESCRIPTION:David Atkin Yale\nUniversity Endogenous Skill Acquisition and E
 xport Manufacturing in Mexico\nStudies based on firm-level data find that 
 both exporting firms and\nmultinational corporations pay higher wages for 
 a given skill level. However\,\nthe literature overlooks the fact that exp
 ort manufacturing firms may also\nchange the educational choices of the wo
 rkforce. In this paper\, Atkin confirms\nthat for Mexico during the period
  1986-2000\, the export sector pays higher\nwages than other sectors\, but
  school drop out increases with the arrival of new\nexport jobs. By the ye
 ar 2000\, the workers induced to enter export\nmanufacturing are earning l
 ess than they would have earned had the jobs never\nappeared and they stay
 ed in school longer. Atkin identifies the causal effects\nby looking withi
 n municipalities and examining how the education of different\ncohorts var
 ies with new factory openings in the municipality at key\nschool-leaving a
 ges. Export manufacturing attracts students by paying high\nrelative wages
  for unskilled workers\, and offering many jobs to low-skill\nworkers stra
 ight out of school. The magnitudes Atkin finds suggest that for\nevery ten
  new jobs created\, one student drops out of school at grade 9 rather\ntha
 n continuing on through grade 12.
