Good jobs, bad jobs, and trade liberalization (2007)

Davis, Donald R., Harrigan, James

Globalization threatens "good jobs at good wages", according to overwhelming public sentiment. Yet professional discussion often rules out such concerns a priori. We instead offer a framework to...

What role for empirics in international trade? (2002)

Davis, Donald R., Weinstein, David E.

In the field of international trade, data analysis has traditionally had quite modest influence relative to that of pure theory. At one time, this might have been rationalized by the paucity of...

Market size, linkages, and productivity: A study of Japanese regions (2002)

Human Capital, Unemployment, And Relative Wages In A Global Economy (2000)

Shafer, Paul R., Davis, Donald R., Vogel, Martin, Nagarajan, K., Roberts, John D.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy provides an excellent means for qualitative identification of ethyl groups by use of the familiar three-four pattern of spin-spin splitting (1). It...

Does European Unemployment Prop Up American Wages? National Labor Markets and Global Trade.

Davis, Donald R

The author considers trade between a flexible-wage America and a rigid-wage Europe. In a benchmark case, a move from autarky to free trade doubles European unemployment. American wages rise to the...

An Account of Global Factor Trade

Donald R. Davis, David E. Weinstein

The Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek (HOV) model of factor service trade is a mainstay of international economics. Empirically, though, it is a flop. This warrants a new approach. The authors test the HOV model...
