The Labour Market Implications of Fragmentation and Trade Under Imperfect Competition

Abstract: Abstract Trade statistics suggest that, while international commerce has risen by more than value added, the growth in trade has been concentrated within rather than between industries.1 Furthermore, there is also evidence that global sourcing of parts and components outpaced even trade in final goods (for data on cross-border production fragmentation see, for instance, Yeats, 2001; Yi, 2003; and Jones, Kierzkowski and Lurong, 2005). In other words, increased trade is at least partly associated with the ‘fragmentation’ of the production process rather than simply trade in finished products.
