This paper analyzes how TAA for workers plays a role on intra-sectoral redistribution of labor in response to trade liberalization by placing Riordan and Staiger's (1993) TAA model within Melitz's (2003) framework of international trade with heterogeneous monopolistically competitive firms. Due to the existence of asymmetric information of worker quality between firms and workers, high-productivity firms abstain from rehiring workers laid-off from low-productivity firms when the average quality of those workers is relatively low. Hence a job training program of TAA can have an important role in reducing unemployment and income deterioration in low productivity firms, and raise efficiency in high-productivity firms within a sector in response to trade liberalization. In addition, the job training program is more necessary with respect to the process of intra-redistribution of production factors when trade opens at a low level, and also when a sector has comparative advantage, skill-intensive technology and a large portion of low quality labor in the labor market.

"The substantial literature investigating the links between trade, trade policy, and labor market outcomes-both returns to labor and employment-has generated a number of stylized facts, but many open questions remain. This paper surveys the subset of the literature focusing on trade policy and integration into the world economy. Although in the longer run trade opportunities can have a major impact in creating more productive and higher paying jobs, this literature tends to take employment as given. A common finding is that much of the shorter run impacts of trade and reforms involve reallocation of labor or wage impacts within sectors. This reflects a pattern of expansion of more productive firms-especially export-oriented or suppliers to exporters-and contraction and adjustment of less productive enterprises in sectors that become subject to greater import competition. Wage responses to trade and trade reforms are generally greater than employment impacts, but trade can only explain a small fraction of the general increase in wage inequality observed in both industrial and developing countries in recent decades. A feature of the literature survey is that the focus is almost exclusively on industries producing goods. Given the importance of service industries as a source of employment and determinants of competitiveness, the paper argues that one priority area for future research is to study the employment effects of services trade and investment reforms.

This paper presents a theoretical model and empirical analysis that connects the prevalence of intra-industry trade with increased wage inequality from trade liberalization in both skilled and unskilled labor abundant countries. The Stolper-Samuelson effect is incorporated into an intra-industry trade liberalization (intra-ITL) hypothesis where skilled labor opposes protectionism in all countries engaged in intra-industry trade because skilled workers gain at the expense of unskilled workers from multilateral trade liberalization within the skill-intensive sector. We examine empirical evidence on whether skilled individuals are more supportive of trade liberalization than unskilled individuals across 31 countries with different levels of intra-industry trade and skill endowments. We find that the extent to which countries engage in intra-industry trade in high-tech commodities is strongly linked with the intensity of opposition to protection by skilled labor. Regression results strongly support our hypothesis that skilled workers, almost everywhere, are more likely to support free trade.

An International Labor Office and European Commission publication Although the effect of trade on employment is a popular point of economic debate, there are very few factual assessments available. This book examines the most recent evidence and provides guidance for the design of tools to assess more accurately the employment impacts of trade. Trade and Employment argues for strengthening the micro-foundations of models used to evaluate the employment effects of trade and for including the informal economy and adjustment processes in modeling efforts. It emphasizes the role of governments in helping firms survive or grow, in providing social protection to protect against external shocks, in addressing gender equity, and in building physical infrastructure and human skills bases that facilitate export diversification. It is a valuable resource for all those interested in the debate on the employment effects of trade: workers and employers, academics and policymakers, and trade and labor specialists.

This report quantifies labor mobility costs in developing countries and simulates the implied adjustment paths of employment and wages following a change in trade policy. High mobility costs are shown to reduce the potential gains to trade reform.
