Abstract

We test whether the economic effects of globalization change the social and political attitudes of white Americans. Specifically, we examine the effect of a local labor market's exposure to import competition brought about by the rapid changes in the Chinese economy from 1990 to 2007 on perceptions of immigrants, minorities, religion and guns. We do not find meaningful changes in aggregate attitudes. Instead, using detailed information from the General Social Survey, we find evidence of significant hardening of existing attitudes or “clinging” to long-standing beliefs.

经济冲击和依附

我们测试全球化的经济影响是否改变了美国白人的社会和政治态度。具体而言，我们考察了1990年至2007年中国经济快速变化所带来的进口竞争对当地劳动力市场对移民、少数民族、宗教和枪支观念的影响。我们在总体态度上没有发现有意义的变化。相反，使用综合社会调查的详细信息，我们发现了现有态度或“坚持”长期信仰的显著硬化的证据。
