Sectoral adjustment of employment to shifts in outsourcing and trade: evidence from a dynamic fixed effects multinomial logit model
利用1988-2001年奥地利男性工人数据,通过动态多项逻辑模型分析贸易和外包如何影响就业在部门间的流动,发现外包强度增加会降低工人留在或转入制造业的概率,尤其对比较劣势行业影响更大。
Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of trade and outsourcing on the transition probabilities of employment between sectors, using a dynamic multinomial logit framework with fixed effects. The data cover a sample of individual Austrian male workers over the period 1988–2001. Our results strongly support the view that international economic forces are important determinants of labor market turnover. In particular, an increase in the outsourcing intensity negatively affects the probability of staying in or changing into the manufacturing sector, even more so for industries with a comparative disadvantage.
