Trade with the NICs and Wage Inequality: Evidence from the UK and Germany

Bob Anderton and Paul Brenton

Chapter 3 in Global Trade and European Workers, 1999, pp 39-68 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most research to date into the causes of the substantial increase in wage inequality in the UK concludes that increased competition from low-wage Newly-Industrialising Countries (NICs) has had very little impact on either the employment or relative wages of unskilled workers.1 But everyday experience suggests the reverse.2
