时间：2017年12月13日（星期三）中午12：30-13：30
地点：管理学院874教室
报告摘要：We investigate the impacts of tariff reduction after the entry into WTO on local labor market outcomes and household behaviors in urban China. Regions that initially specialized in industries facing larger tariff cuts experienced slower wage growth relative to other regions. Meanwhile, households responded to this negative income shock correspondingly. First, household members work more, especially at the non-tradable sector. Second, household size increased because more young adults resided with parents. Third, households save less. These behaviors significantly buffer the negative wage shock induced by trade liberalization.(JEL: F14, F16, J20, R23)
