Input tariff reduction generates a cost‐saving effect which benefits firms whilst output tariff reduction results in a competition effect which may hurt domestic firms. Given the fair wage argument, trade liberalisation may affect wages across firms due to the joint effects on firm profit.

Abstract: How does trade liberalization affect wages? This is the first paper to consider in theory and data how the impact of final and intermediate input tariff cuts on workers’ wages varies with the global engagement of their firm. Our model predicts that a fall in output tariffs lowers This paper explores the role of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) as a determinant of domestic firms’ wages, namely wage spillovers. We first construct a theoretical model to demonstrate that the presence of FDI firms affects domestic firms’ expected average wages via productivity spillovers and a cut-off capability. We show that tariff reduction, due to trade libe Trade liberalisation and cross‐firm wage heterogeneity: Theory and evidence from China - Chen - 2018 - The World Economy - Wiley Online Library Skip to Article Content

This paper explores the role of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) as a determinant of domestic firms’ wages, namely wage spillovers. We first construct a theoretical model to demonstrate that the presence of FDI firms affects domestic firms’ expected average wages via productivity spillovers and a cut-off capability.

In theory, opening up to international trade could create a favorable impact on differences cause firms to pay wages differently according to worker productiv-. 5 In the efficiency wage models, firms offer higher-than-equilibrium wages to prevent workers from reducing their effort on the job. In this review, we focus on the  high-skill firms into exporting, and trade shifts the firm technology distribution Moreover, evidence from matched employer-employee data shows that a of all theories linking intra-industry trade and wage inequality) can be explained by. The literature finds some evidence that engaging in trade leads to higher firm ( because wage equals marginal product in theory); the increased wage bill

Around 14% of firms pay more than 50% of the industry mean and 16% pay less than 50% of the industry mean. Our theory implies that firm wages increase with firm profits. Unfortunately, reliable mea- sures of profits are not available. However, theory also suggests that profits increase in revenues.
