New Perspectives on the Decline of US Manufacturing Employment
利用美国微观数据的新维度，考察制造业就业在行业、企业、机构和地区间的演变，支持贸易和技术两种解释，并指出估算各自贡献的困难。
We use relatively unexplored dimensions of US microdata to examine how US manufacturing employment has evolved across industries, firms, establishments and regions. These data provide support for both trade- and technology-based explanations of the overall decline of employment over this period, while also highlighting the difficulties of estimating an overall contribution for each mechanism. Toward that end, we discuss how more careful analysis of these trends might yield sharper insights.
