Review of Business and Economic Literature, 2002, vol. XLVII, issue 2, 167-204

Abstract: This paper assesses the impact of trade and technology on Belgian industrial employment. A framework is developed which incorporates employment effects of (i) export expansion (ii) impost competition and (iii) labour saving productivity improvements. In this context, evidence is found for the hypothesis that international trade induces adjustments in technology.
