自1991年贸易改革以来，印度制造业与世界经济的融合程度迅速提高。我们研究了贸易一体化是创造还是破坏了印度制造业的就业机会，并将印度的就业结果与其他四个国家（孟加拉国、肯尼亚、南非和越南）进行了比较。我们发现，国际贸易对制造业就业的影响似乎与这两个非洲国家而不是两个亚洲国家相似，对于一个在劳动密集型制造业产品方面具有明显比较优势，且非熟练劳动力供应大量过剩的国家来说，这是一个令人惊讶的结果。
The Indian manufacturing sector has rapidly increased its integration with the world economy since the 1991 trade reforms. We examine whether trade integration created or destroyed jobs in the Indian manufacturing sector, and compare India's employment outcomes with four other countries—Bangladesh, Kenya, South Africa, and Vietnam. We find that the impact of international trade on manufacturing employment seems to be similar to those found for the two African countries rather than the two Asian countries, a surprising result for a country with an apparent comparative advantage in labor-intensive manufacturing goods, and a large excess supply of unskilled labor.
