本文综述了关于贸易和工资不平等的最新研究。我们首先介绍一些基于贸易的对工资不平等加剧的解释。然而，基于“贸易-工资不平等反常”、“价格-工资反常”和贸易量小，对这一思路有许多批评。主要由于这些批评，基于贸易的解释在经济学文献中对工资不平等加剧的解释有限。相反，工资不平等的主要解释是基于偏向技能的技术变革。然而，一些贸易模型削弱了上述批评，更多的经济学家现在认为，尽管与技术变革相比，贸易的影响相对较小，但却比人们普遍认为的更重要。最后，我们试图将不平等的新趋势，如就业两极分化和群体内不平等，与贸易和工资不平等文献联系起来。
This paper surveys recent studies on trade and wage inequality. We first introduce some trade-based explanations for increased wage inequality. There are, however, a number of criticisms of this line of thought based on the "trade-wage inequality anomaly," the "price-wage anomaly," and the small volume of trade. Mainly due to these criticisms, trade-based explanations for rising wage inequality have been limited in the economic literature. Rather, the primary explanations for wage inequality have been based on skill-biased technological change. Some trade models, however, have weakened the above criticisms, and more economists now argue that the effect of trade, though relatively small compared to that of technological change, is more significant than generally believed. Finally, we attempt to link new trends in inequality, such as job polarization and within-group inequality, to the trade and wage inequality literature.
