A simple model of firm heterogeneity, international trade, and wages (2005, result): “With respect to the facts as presented in Baldwin and Cain (2000), predictions (1) and (2) are consistent with movements in aggregate data, while (3) is inconsistent with the fact that the wages of the least educated workers have fallen most in the last several decades.”
Trade and inequality in developing countries: a general equilibrium analysis (2005, background): “Using a variety of methodologies, many researchers have demonstrated that international trade accounts for no more than a fifth of the rising inequality experienced by the United States in the last two decades e.g., Feenstra and Hanson (1996, 1999), Borjas et al. (1997), and Baldwin and Cain (2000).”
Relative prices and wage inequality: evidence from Mexico (2004, methodology): “I apply both consistency checks (Krueger, 1997; Lawrence and Slaughter, 1993; Sachs and Shatz, 1994; Schmitt and Mishel, 1996) and mandated wage equations (Baldwin and Cain, 2000; Baldwin and Hilton, 1984; Haskel and Slaughter, 2001; Krueger, 1997; Leamer, 1998) found in these price studies.”

Technology, trade, and wage inequality in Mexico before and after NAFTA (2003, methodology): “Krueger (1997) and Baldwin and Cain (2000) have used a similar methodology for the case of the United States.20 The “mandated wage” approach is particularly interesting in this case because, as suggested by Slaughter (2000), it is the most appropriate way of testing the correlation version of the…”
Using Survey Data to Assess the Distributional Effects of Trade Policy (2003, background): “Leamer (1996), Baldwin and Cain (1997) and Grossman and Levinsohn (1989) have found similar magnitudes.”
