The Fear of Competitive Pressure of Globalization and Outsourcing

Zhihao Yu ()

No 06-09, Carleton Economic Papers from Carleton University, Department of Economics

Abstract: Why does the current wave of globalization create more public concern/opposition than previous rounds of trade liberalization? This paper identifies a key difference between globalization and trade liberalization that could be responsible for it. It is shown that while both globalization and trade liberalization create inter-sector income distribution, the former also creates intrasector.
