Globalisation and Labour Market Adjustment [Hardcover]

Although economists have long pointed to the aggregate gains from increased economic integration, the popular perception of globalization is much more pessimistic. Workers feel less secure in their jobs and fear wage losses and unemployment. This book explores these issues, and asks whether the concerns are warranted.Introduction and Overview; D.Greenaway, R.Upward & P.Wright Globalistion and Turnover; C.Davidson & S.Matusz The Wage and Unemployment Impacts of Trade Adjustment; P.Bastos & J.Silva Trade and Rising Wage Inequality: What Can We Learn from a Decade of Computable General Equilibrium Analysis?; N.Winchester Unemployment in Models of International Trade; U.Kreickemeier Human Capital and Adjustment to Trade; R.Falvey, D.Greenaway & J.Silva Trade Adjustment and Occupational Mobility; R.Upward & P.Wright The Labour Market Implications of Fragmentation and Trade under Imperfect Competition; B.Dluhosch The Labour Market Impact of International Outsourcing; I.Geishecker, H.G?rg & S.Maioli Immigration and Labour Market Adjustment; A.Hijzen & D.NelsonPAULO BASTOS Research Fellow, Leverhulme Centre for Research on Globalisation and Economic Policy, University of Nottingham, UKCARL DAVIDSON Professor of Economics, Michigan State University, USABARBARA DLUHOSCH Professor of Economics, Helmut-Schmidt University, GermanyROD FALVEY Professor of International Economics, University of Nottingham, UKINGO GEISHECKER Researcher at the Chair of Wolfram Schrettl, Department of Economics and Institute of East-European Studies, Freie Universit?t, GermanyHOLGER GORG Associate Professor and Reader in International Economics, University of Nottingham, UK; Programme Co-ordinator for Globalisation, Productivity and Technology, Leverhulme Centre for Research on Globalisation and Economic Policy, University of Nottingham, UKALEXANDER HIJZEN Economist, Employment Analysis and Policy Division, OECDUDO KREICKMEIER Associate Professor in Economics, University oflC!
