摘要

本研究探讨了出口对美国工人安全与健康的影响。我们使用外国的单边自由化作为工具来捕捉美国出口的需求冲击。我们利用企业固定效应进行的两阶段估计表明，每名工人的出口额每增加 1000 美元，工伤率就会显著下降 0.7%，这意味着制造业工人的工伤率每年会减少约 55000 起。在工伤率较低的企业中，工伤率的下降更为明显，这表明工作条件的不平等有所扩大。工作条件的改善可能来自于对先进设备的更多投资以及对安全和健康法规的更好遵守。

Can exports be pain relievers? The effect of exports on workplace safety and health

This study examines the effect of exports on worker safety and health in the US. We use foreign countries' unilateral liberalization as an instrument to capture the demand shocks on US exports. Our two‐stage estimates with establishment fixed effects suggest that a $1000 increase in exports per worker decreased the workplace injury rate by a significant 0.7%, which implies an annual reduction of about 55,000 injuries among manufacturing workers. The reduction in injuries is more salient among establishments with lower injury rates, indicating an increase of inequality in working conditions. The improvement in working conditions might come from more investment in advanced equipment and better compliance with safety and health regulations.
