9409011 Leamer这项研究将研究高工资和低工资国家部分经济一体化的后果。 本研究分为两个部分。在第一部分中，经济一体化的几种替代理论模型，制定特别关注的全球竞争对内部劳动力市场的影响。研究报告的第二部分利用理论模型，对经济一体化对特定经济部门或特定工人群体的就业、价格、工资和其他经济结果的影响进行实证分析。 这项研究具有重要意义，因为实证结果将提高我们对与低工资国家的贸易和投资在侵蚀或增加美国工资方面可能发挥的作用的理解。.

9409011 Leamer This research will study the consequences of partial economic integration of high-wage and low-wage countries. The study is divided into two parts. In the first part, several alternative theoretical models of economic integration are formulated which focus particularly on the effect of global competition on internal labor markets. The second part of the study uses the theoretical models to develop empirical analyses of the effects of economic integration on employment, prices, wages and other economic outcomes in particular sectors of the economy or among particular groups of workers. This research is of significant interest because the empirical results would improve our understanding of what role trade and investment with low-wage countries might play in eroding or increasing wages in the United States. .
