• Trade Policy, Trade Volumes and Plant-Level Productivity in Colombian Manufacturing Industries (2003, neutral): “Industry fixed effects control for unobserved fixed industry characteristics affecting simultaneously TFP and lagged tariffs (such as political economy factors as in Goldberg and Pavcnik, 2005), and thus address the potential endogeneity of protection. In fact, the positive tariff coefficient in col”
• Using Survey Data to Assess the Distributional Effects of Trade Policy (2003, positive): “The paper investigates general equilibrium effects, thus extending the existing literature that studies trade liberalization with household data in partial equilibrium (Attanasio et al., 2004; Deaton, 1989; Edmonds and Pavcnik, 2005; Friedman and Levinsohn, 2002; Goldberg and Pavcnik, 2005).”
• The Response of the Informal Sector to Trade Liberalization (2003, positive): “See Goldberg and Pavcnik (2001) for details about the Colombian tariff data. The source of the Brazilian trade data is Muendler (2002) at http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~meundler/. These data are based on Kume et.al. (2000). The original data provide the tariff levels at the nivel 80 industrial classi”

• Trade reforms and wage inequality in Colombia (2004, neutral): “Indeed, in a related paper (Goldberg and Pavcnik (2003b)), we find that, while the share of informal workers increased in Colombia in the aftermath of the trade reforms, the entire increase is accounted for by within-industry changes from the formal to the informal sector, rather than by between-ind”
• Trade Liberalization and Wage Inequality: Evidence from India (2008, neutral): “The reduction in tariffs was much more drastic in India than in the trade liberalization episodes in Latin American countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil.”
• Trade and Employment: Stylized Facts and Research Findings (2005, neutral): “Goldberg and Pavcnik (2005) control for the political economy determinants of tariff protection that may also affect industry wage premiums independently, inducing spurious correlation between industry protection and wages.”
• Poverty, Labor Markets and Trade Liberalization in Indonesia (2015, neutral): “Reductions in protection and increased foreign competition generally seem to have increased skill premia in Latin America (e.g., Attanasio et al., 2004; Galiani and Sanguinetti, 2003; Goldberg and Pavcnik, 2005), although with some exceptions (e.g., Gonzaga et al., 2006 for Brazil).”
• Trade Liberalization and Regional Dynamics (2017, neutral): “Following the argument in Goldberg and Pavcnik (2005), we note that the tariff cuts were nearly perfectly correlated with the pre- liberalization tariff levels (correlation coefficient = -0.90).”
