Abstract

Abstract We assess the impact of a rapid rise in Japanese import competition on the growth in racial earnings and employment gaps during the 1970s and 80s. Using commuting zone level variation in exposure, we find Japanese competition led to a decrease in manufacturing employment and labour force participation for blacks. This was driven by a shift in demand for skill in manufacturing. The difference in effects between the 10th percentile most and least exposed commuting zone was equivalent to 36–46% of the relative rise in black non-labour force participation, and 78–96% of the relative decline in black median male earnings.

70年代和80年代停滞的种族进步和日本贸易

摘要:我们评估了20世纪70年代和80年代日本进口竞争快速上升对种族收入增长和就业差距的影响。利用通勤区暴露水平的变化，我们发现日本的竞争导致了黑人制造业就业和劳动力参与的减少。这是由制造业技能需求的转变推动的。通勤区最多和最少的第10百分位之间的影响差异相当于黑人非劳动力参与率相对上升的36-46%，黑人男性收入中位数相对下降的78-96%。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1933 by a group of young British and American economists, The Review of Economic Studies aims to encourage research in theoretical and applied economics, especially by young economists. Today it is widely recognised as one of the core top-five economics journals. The Review is essential reading for economists and has a reputation for publishing path-breaking papers in theoretical and applied economics. The Review is committed to continuing to publish strong papers in all areas of economics. The Editors aim to provide an efficient and high-quality review process to the Review''s authors. Where articles are sent out for full review, authors receive careful reports and feedback. Since 1989 The Review has held annual May Meetings to offer young students in economics and finance the chance to present their research to audiences in Europe.
