Understanding international trade statistics
International trade statistics and trade policy information provide the facts that firms and policy makers need to take decisions. Equally, they provide the information that analysts and academics need to provide advice to decision makers. Consequently, the accuracy and timeliness of these statistics are extremely important. At a time when globalization is leading to rapid changes in the economic and social environment, the quality of these statistics is more important than ever
Industry Wages and Tariffs ofthe Rest of the World
There is widespread evidence that countries use trade policy to protect their workers. Sector-level tariffs typically correlate positively with sector wages and employment. This chapter examines the mirror question of how tariffs of other countries of the world affect industry wages at home. To answer this question, we rely on an industry-level analysis of wages in a sample of developing and developed countries spanning from 1976 to 2004. The effect of trade policy is identified through differential exposure of trade policy changes abroad for workers in different industries.
