Using linked employer-employee data for Brazil\, the authors show that m uch of overall wage inequality arises within sector-occupations\; this wit hin component is driven by wage dispersion between firms\; and wage disper sion between firms is related to employment size and trade participation. The authors then extend the theoretical model of trade and inequality from Helpman\, Itskhoki\, and Redding (2010) and structurally estimate it with Brazilian data. They show that the estimated model fits the data well\, b oth in terms of some key moments as well as in terms of the overall distri butions of wages and employment. International trade is important for this fit. In particular\, the authors show that by shutting down the trade cha nnel the estimated model is significantly less successful in matching the data.
