this is a lord high practicers' attempt to measure
the impact of exports on wage distribution
it has a lapidary finding
inequality rise as exports open up peaks and falls back
as more and more firms join the export game
basically "as is" this appears to be completely useless
after all what about import invasions ?
imports ... more often then not ... rise with exports
open up an economy and much changes
this study really amounts to building a few rooms on one wing
and then trying to play the role of a complete mansion
what seems important here to me is the explicit modeling of heterogenious firms
whats missing besides the other side of the exchange ie import impact
is the role of essentially non patriotic multi national firms
in the development of modern globalization
