摘要：We analyze whether regional labor markets are a ected by expo-sure to import competition from China. We nd negative employmente ects for low-skilled workers, and observe that low-skilled workerstend to be pushed into unemployment or leave the labor force alto-gether. We nd no evidence of wage e ects. We partly expect thisin a Nordic welfare state where rms are exible at the employmentmargin, while centralized wage bargaining provides less exibility atthe wage margin. Our estimates suggest that import competition fromChina explains almost 10% of the reduction in the manufacturing em-ployment share from 1996 to 2007 which is half of the e ect found byAutor, Dorn and Hanson (2013) for the US.
