Creative destruction and unemployment in an open economy model

Canadian Journal of Economics, 2016, vol. 49, issue 3, 931-948

Abstract: I develop a model of endogenous economic growth and search and matching frictions in the labour market. I study the effect of trade liberalization between two identical economies on long-run unemployment and show that bilateral trade liberalization has a steady state effect on unemployment that is negative for countries with a relatively larger R&D sector and positive for countries with a smaller R&D sector.
