Abstract

I examine how migration frictions shape the effects of trade policy by analyzing the impact of tariff reductions on labor allocation in China and the role of hukou-based migration frictions. Trade liberalization induces significant labor reallocation, greater in regions with lower hukou frictions. Quantitatively, trade liberalization increases China's welfare by 0.72%. Abolishing the hukou system directly improves welfare by 1.75% but reduces gains from tariff reductions by 18% and amplifies negative distributional effects. In the process, I develop a novel measure of hukou-related migration frictions.

贸易自由化与劳动力大再分配

通过分析关税削减对中国劳动力配置的影响以及基于户口的移民摩擦的作用，我研究了移民摩擦如何塑造贸易政策的影响。贸易自由化导致了显著的劳动力再分配，在户口摩擦较低的地区更明显。从数量上看，贸易自由化使中国的福利增加了0.72%。废除户口制度直接提高了1.75%的福利，但减少了18%的关税削减收益，并放大了负面的分配效应。在此过程中，我开发了一种新的衡量户口相关迁移摩擦的方法。
