Economic Inquiry, 2004, vol. 42, issue 2, 295-303

Abstract: In this article we provide a theoretical analysis of the possible impact of trade and fragmentation on the skilled--unskilled wage gap in a small developing economy. In particular, we illustrate the possibility of a decline in the relative wage of the unskilled labor following an improvement in the terms of trade.
