Historical background -- I. The traditional approach: The rise of the college wage premium -- Early studies -- Trade versus technology -- Offshoring -- II. Broadening the canvas: Matching workers with jobs -- Regional disparity -- Firm characteristics -- Technology choice -- Residual inequality.
Helpman summarizes two decades of research about the connections among international trade, offshoring, immigration, and changes in net income. The overwhelming conclusion is that globalization has created a small rise in inequality. Other factors must be responsible for most of the rise; evidence suggests the chief culprit is technological change that heavily favors highly skilled workers.--
