Job\nCreation and Job Destruction: \;The\ nEffect\nof Trade Shocks on US Employment

This\npaper studi es the effect of trade expansion on the US labor market through both\nimpo rts and exports over the last two decades. Despite job losses from import\ ncompetition\, I find evidence that numerous jobs are created in the US th rough\nexport expansion. The effects of trade are identified by shocks to US imports\nand exports triggered by foreign countries' unilateral liberal ization. Central\nestimates suggest that nearly 928 thousand manufacturing jobs were created\nthrough exports to the world between 1991 and 2007\, w hereas the number of job\nlosses due to imports is estimated to be 845 tho usand. \; Combining these two sides\, the substantial\nnegative employ ment effect of import exposure to China is roughly balanced by\nthe positi ve employment effect of export performance to the world at the\nindustry l evel. Compared with previous findings\, the estimated number of job\nlosse s due to import exposure to China decreases upon controlling for industry\ nfixed effects. Meanwhile\, export (import) shocks have positive (negative )\nimpacts on other labor-market outcomes including the wage bill\, establ ishment\ncount\, and share of production workers\, without any effect on t he average\nindustry wage rate.
