Some Empirical Evidence", author = "Milanovic, Branko and Squire, Lyn", institution = "National Bureau of Economic Research", type = "Working Paper", series = "Working Paper Series", number = "11046", year = "2005", month = "January", doi = {10.3386/w11046}, URL = "http://www.nber.org/papers/w11046", abstract = {The objective of the paper is to answer an often-asked question : if tariff rates are reduced, what will happen to wage inequality ? We consider two types of wage inequality : between occupations (skills premium), and between industries. We use two large data bases of wage inequality that have become recently available and a large dataset of average tariff rates all covering the period between 1980 and 2000. We find that tariff reduction is associated with higher inter-occupational and inter-industry inequality in poorer countries (those below the world median income) and the reverse in richer countries. The results for inter-occupational inequality though must be treated with caution.}, }
