Patterns of Labor Market Adjustment to Trade Shocks with Imperfect Capital Mobility
The authors explore how different types of factor market frictions shape the short- and long-run labor-market adjustment to tariff cuts. To investigate these patterns empirically, the authors formulate a multi-sector dynamic model featuring capital and labor adjustment costs that they fit to Argentine data. Long-run responses of real wages are indeed larger than the short-run responses. In Food and Beverages, the real wage declines by 1.56 and 6.21 percent in the short- and long-run. In Textiles, the long-run response is about twice as large.
