dc.description.abstract | In a two-country reciprocal dumping model, with one country
unionized, we analyze how wage setting and firm location are influenced
by trade liberalization. We show that trade liberalization can
induce FDI, which is at odds with conventional theoretical wisdom
and cannot happen in a corresponding model without unionization.
FDI is undertaken partly to win a distributional battle with unionized
labor, and the incentives to invest abroad can be too large seen from a welfare point of view. | en |
