In this paper, we explore empirically the role of openness, technology and labour marketrigidity in the determination of the effect of the exchange rate on employment in Portugal. Wedevelop an index that allows us to measure labour market flexibility at the sector level. Thisindex shows that...

There is increasing evidence that the interaction between shocks and labour marketinstitutions is crucial to understanding the dynamics of employment. In this paper, we showthat the inclusion of labour adjustment costs in a trade model affects the impact of exchangerate movements on employment....

The article uses a demand-constrained small-open-economy model in the tradition of Keynes and Kalecki to study the effects of offshoring on aggregate demand and domestic employment. Offshoring is represented as labor-saving import-using technical change. The results depend on the behavior of the...

We estimate the link between exchange rate fluctuations and the labour input of Canadian manufacturing industries. The analysis is based on a dynamic model of labour demand, and the econometric strategy employs a panel two-step approach for cointegrating regressions. Our data are drawn from a...

This paper discusses the impact of the international transfer of embodiedtechnological change on the employment evolution of skills in a sample of low andmiddle income countries (LMICs). A large body of literature has already underlinedthe occurrence of widening wage and employment differentials...
