• Priyaranjan Jha: Monopsonistic Labor Markets and International Trade

  September 27, 2021, 4 p.m.-5:30 p.m. EDT

  Virtual

  This project studies the impact of trade on wage inequality and welfare when the labor market is monopsonistic. Firm heterogeneity in productivity along with workers' idiosyncratic preferences for different firms generate between-firm wage inequality for workers with identical skills. If monopsony power is high, inequality increases monotonically with trade liberalization. The model features a novel welfare channel of workers' “love of firm variety." Trade liberalization provides additional welfare gains through the firm-variety channel when monopsony power is high but detracts from welfare gains when monopsony power is low.
