| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, I estimated the impact of international trade on wages and employment in the Japanese labor market. Matched worker-firm panel data in the Japanese manufacturing sector covering two decades from the late 1990s are used. The main results are threefold. (1) Offshoring decreases skill premium in annual hourly wages, whereas it increases the gender gap in annual salaries, which arises from the different changes in overtime working hours: college graduates work longer with a lower overtime premium, whereas female workers do not increase overtime work. (2) Labor income inequality in Japan among industry-size-skill-gender groups has increased due to imports from Asia. (3) Upstream manufacturing firms lower the probability of closing by selling their products to downstream manufacturing firms which increases their exports or imports.
