It makes three main contributions. First, it presents closed-form solutions for the impacts of different types of technical change (TC) on jobs (the sectoral allocation of employment) as well as on wages, prices and output. Second, it shows that wage and employment effects are positively correlated only for certain types of TC and certain parameters, so wage and employment impacts need to be examined separately. Third, we incorporate a non-traded sector into our framework and show how employment in this sector alters results by offering a new margin of adjustment. The impact of TC on relative wages is dampened, although its sign is not changed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16276,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Economics","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 104065"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Germany also earns significantly less within asset classes, especially for equities and FDI. These aggregate results are confirmed when using return data from 50,000 mutual funds worldwide.

Using the identification strategy of Bauer and Swanson (2023a), we decompose monetary policy surprises into two components: a pure U.S. monetary policy shock and a “Fed Response to News” component around FOMC meetings. I find that a U.S. monetary tightening driven by pure policy shocks causes a global recessions, exchange rate depreciation, and tighter financial conditions. In contrast, a tightening driven by the “Fed Response to News” channel leads to an economic expansion, exchange rate appreciation, and looser financial conditions. Ignoring the “Fed Response to News” channel biases estimates, explaining recent atypical findings of expansionary impacts. By isolating these components, I reconcile traditional and recent views of monetary policy spillovers.

If workers have preferences such that income effects outweigh substitution effects, then a welfare-improving response to rising income is to reduce labor supply to enjoy more leisure time. Using a multi-country Ricardian trade model, I derive an hours-to-trade elasticity that is composed by the wage (Marshallian) and trade elasticities. I estimate the hours-to-trade elasticity by exploiting exogenous income variation generated by trade. Findings suggest that a one percent increase in imports (as share of GDP) leads to a 0.17 percent decline in hours per worker. This implies dominating income effects backed by a wage elasticity of -0.16 and a trade elasticity close to unity. I quantify that the rise in trade openness between 1950 and 2014 explains, on average, 7.4 percent of the total decline in hours per worker in high-income countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16276,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Economics","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 104061"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143552291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This evidence indicates that our extensions to time-cost estimates are economically relevant to determining processing costs. According to our estimates, the tariff equivalent import processing cost is as high as 18 percent.
