这项研究通过构建一组1998年至2013年工资的匹配工人-企业数据，估计了最终产品市场上的进口竞争对日本制造业工人工资的影响。基线结果表明，进口竞争并没有降低非技术工人的工资，而是增加了拥有大学学位或管理和专业职位的工人的技能溢价。大企业和低生产率企业也通过进口竞争提高了工资溢价，但企业层面因素的增加幅度远远小于与工人技能有关的因素。
This study estimates the effect of import competition in the final goods market on workers’ wages in the Japanese manufacturing sector by constructing a panel of matched worker–firm data for 1998–2013 wages. The baseline results show that import competition does not decrease unskilled workers’ wages and increases the skill premia of workers with college degrees or those in managerial and professional positions. Large firms and firms with low productivity also increased their wage premia through import competition, but the degree of increase due to firm-level factors is much smaller than that due to factors related to workers’ skill.
