Regional Employment Implications of U.S. Pharmaceutical Exports

Abstract: We develop an industry-specific sub-national model of exports that takes into account international and domestic shipping costs. We generate econometric estimates of these shipping costs for the U.S. pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing industry by fitting the model to 2017 U.S. export data at the district level. Then, we use the econometric model to estimate the value of exports originating from production in each state. Our estimates of states’ export intensities provide indicators of the exposure of workers in individual states to pharmaceuticals-related changes in patent protection, tariffs, and macroeconomic conditions in export markets.
