{"title":"Perspectives on trade and structural transformation","authors":"George Alessandria, Robert Johnson, Kei-Mu Yi","doi":"10.1080/13600818.2023.2279665","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13600818.2023.2279665","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis paper surveys macroeconomic and microeconomic perspectives on the role of international trade in structural transformation. We start by describing canonical frameworks that have been used to quantify how trade influences sectoral shares of employment and value added. We then pivot to survey micro-empirical evidence on the impact of changes in trade on the allocation of labor across sectors and productivity at the firm level. In this, we put special emphasis on the role of participation in global value chains and inward foreign direct investment in mediating these effects. Next, we evaluate evidence on the barriers to trade faced by low-income countries, with special attention to recent work that measures these costs taking firm dynamics into account. We conclude by discussing how these micro-perspectives can be integrated into macro models to advance our understanding of structural change.KEYWORDS: Global value chainsForeign direct investmentFirm-level costs of tradeMicro-evidence and macro modelsJEL CLASSIFICATION: F1F23F43F62 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Several papers have developed models to explain them. One of these papers includes international trade; see Sposi et al. (Citation2021).2. That said, measurement of GVCs has typically employed a more narrow definition: imported inputs are used in production and some of the resulting output is exported, i.e. some stages of production cross multiple national borders.3. We acknowledge that our survey here cannot cover the full range of perspectives; for example, we do not directly address industrial policy, so refer the reader to Chang (Citation2003) and Oqubay et al. (Citation2020) for complementary discussion.4. To clarify the scope of our discussion, we focus on the allocation of factors across sectors. Thus, we do not engage research on the allocation of factors across firms within a sector, which plays an important role in models of trade with heterogeneous firms. To the extent that this within sector reallocation alters sectoral productivity, it may be an additional mechanism through which trade influences structural change.5. A separate set of questions are related to the welfare effects of worker displacements due to trade. One might be concerned that displacements are particularly costly when workers do not have access to social insurance programs, as in most low-income countries. We are not aware of work that addresses these concerns explicitly, though they would be important for understanding the political economy of trade reforms.6. Dix-Carneiro et al. (Citation2021) shows that incorporating the informal sector into models is important quantitatively, and also qualitatively for wage inequality, productivity, and welfare.7. Our emphasis here is tailored to highlight particular issues pertaining to participation in global value chains and trade in low-income countries.
