Has ICT Polarized Skill Demand? Evidence from Eleven Countries over Twenty-Five Years (2014, background): “…declined more rapidly in some sectors than others (for example, due to trade liberalization) we would expect the actual ﬂows of trade to proxy this change and there to be a larger effect on workers in these sectors than in others who were less affected (Krugman, 2008, also makes this argument).”
Estimating domestic content in exports when processing trade is pervasive (2012, background): “…content in exports from the PRC is low, especially in sectors that would have been considered sophisticated or high-skilled in the US, then imports from the PRC may still generate a large downward pressure on the wage of the low-skilled Americans after all (as pointed out by Krugman, 2008).”
"Jobs and Income Growth of Top Earners and the Causes of Changing Income Inequality: Evidence from U.S. Tax Return Data." (2012, background): “…market, and highly-skilled workers are scarcer in the rest of the world than in the U.S. Globalization may similarly depress wages for lower-skilled workers, because they now have to compete with abundant low-skill workers from the rest of the world (Stolper and Samuelson, 1941; Krugman 2008).”
The Hyperglobalization of Trade and Its Future (2013, background): “…of trade since the early 1990s has had signifi cant distributional eff ects” and that “it is probably true that this increase (in manufactured imports from developing countries)… has been a force for greater inequality in the United States and other developed countries” (Krugman 2008, 134–35).”
Globalization and Its (Dis-)Content: Trade Shocks and Voting Behavior (2015, unknown): “The past three decades have seen a dramatic change in the nature of international trade, signified by a secular rise in manufacturing trade between high-wage and low-wage countries (Krugman, 2008).”
Offshoring and the skill structure of labour demand (2012, background): “Krugman (2008) however, argues that trade might have become much more important in driving the demand for skilled workers in recent years due to the fast growth in imports from low-skill abundant developing countries, notably China.”
How Much of Chinese Exports is Really Made in China? Assessing Domestic Value-Added When Processing Trade is Pervasive (2008, unknown): “…content in China's exports is low, especially in sectors that would have been considered sophisticated or high-skilled in the United States, then imports from China may still generate a large downward pressure on the wage of the low-skilled Americans after all (as pointed out by Krugman, 2008).”
Made in China, Sold in Norway: Local Labor Market Effects of an Import Shock (2015, unknown): “Topalova (2010), Chiquiar (2008), and Kovak (2013).”
Wage inequality, technology and trade: 21st century evidence (2011, result): “So the reason that trade seemed less important could have been just because most researchers were using datasets that ended in the early 1990s (e.g. Krugman, 2008, reverses his earlier view that trade did not matter in light of the growth of China).”
Rising Income Inequality: Technology, or Trade and Financial Globalization? (2008, unknown): “Although the peak of this vibrant literature was reached in the mid-1990s with a series of major contributions (for example, Feenstra and Hanson, 1996; Borjas, Freeman, and Katz, 1997), there is a renewed interest in the topic (for example, Broda and Romalis, 2008; Krugman, 2008), including a great ”
Industry Dynamics and Competition from Low-Wage Countries: Evidence on Italy (2014, unknown): “The initial evidence, pointing to a weak impact of trade on domestic developments (Grossman, 1982; Krugman and Lawrence, 1993), has been reconsidered afterwards (Freeman and Katz, 1991; Revenga, 1992; Sachs and Shatz, 1994; Krugman, 2008; Bernard et al., 2002 2006; Baldwin and Lileeva, 2008; White, ”
