本研究试图探讨1980-2005年期间国际贸易对印度制造业就业和工资的影响。鉴于印度劳动力丰富，从就业和工资的角度来看，经验证据将表明贸易开放在劳动力市场中的作用。我们采用三种标准的建模方法，即要素含量、增长分解和面板数据建模方法来验证贸易对就业和工资的作用。我们使用行业层面的面板数据，这些数据来自行业年度调查（ASI）和世界银行贸易数据集。我们的研究结果表明，国际贸易对印度制造业的就业产生没有任何重大影响。虽然几乎没有证据表明出口导向对就业有任何重大影响，但进口渗透对创造就业有不利影响。
This study attempts to investigate the impact of international trade on the manufacturing employment and wages in India over the period 1980–2005. Given India’s abundant labour force, the empirical evidence will provide an indication on the role of trade openness in labour market in terms of employment and wages. We employ three standard modelling approaches, namely, factor content, growth decomposition and panel data modelling approaches, to verify the role of trade on employment and wages. We use panel data at the industry level obtained from Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) and World Bank trade data set. Our results suggest that international trade has not had any significant impact on employment generation in the manufacturing sector in India. While there is little evidence on any significant effect of export orientation on employment, import penetration had a detrimental effect on employment generation.
