Measuring the Unequal Gains from Trade *
Quarterly Journal of Economics · 2016 · Pablo Fajgelbaum、Amit Kumar Khandelwal

中文摘要

消费不同商品篮子的个体,受到国际贸易引起的相对价格变化的影响也不同。我们提出一种方法,用以测度各国内部不同消费者之间不均等的贸易收益。该方法需要总支出数据以及由非位似引力方程估计得到的参数。我们发现,贸易通常有利于穷人,他们的支出集中于贸易程度更高的部门。

Abstract

Abstract Individuals that consume different baskets of goods are differentially affected by relative price changes caused by international trade. We develop a methodology to measure the unequal gains from trade across consumers within countries. The approach requires data on aggregate expenditures and parameters estimated from a nonhomothetic gravity equation. We find that trade typically favors the poor, who concentrate spending in more traded sectors.
