Import Tariff Liberalization, Employment, and Gender in Ethiopia
研究了埃塞俄比亚贸易自由化对地方劳动力市场的影响，发现关税削减导致就业下降，尤其对女性影响更大，并促使劳动力从农业向服务业转移。
This paper analyses the impact of trade liberalization on local labour markets in Ethiopia, with a focus on the gender dimension of employment and on the process of structural transformation. By exploiting rich micro-level data on Ethiopian workers, we evaluate the effect of the Ethiopian trade reforms on the changes and composition of employment. We find that districts more exposed to trade liberalization experienced reductions in their employment levels, especially in female employment. We also show that reductions in tariffs trigger a process of sectoral reallocation from agriculture to services and that this process is particularly pronounced for women.
