Internal Geography, Labor Mobility, and the Distributional Impacts of Trade
构建空间均衡模型，以中国为例量化国际贸易在存在国内贸易和迁移成本的经济体中的分配效应，发现贸易加剧了地区间和地区内的工资不平等。
I develop a spatial-equilibrium model to quantify the distributional impacts of international trade in an economy with intranational trade and migration costs. Focusing on China, I find that international trade increases both between-region inequality among workers with similar skills and within-region inequality between skilled and unskilled workers, with the former accounting for 75 percent of the overall inequality increase. Ignoring spatial frictions will underestimate trade’s impact on the overall inequality and overestimate its impact on the aggregate skill premium. I further study how internal trade and Hukou reforms affect the domestic economy and the impacts of international trade.
