"U.S. Employment Exposure to Agricultural Trade Policy" by Charlton, Diane, Amanda M. Countryman, Dale Manning and Sionegael Ikeme Abstract Literature examining the effects of changes in trade agreements and import competition on U.S. employment and wages has focused primarily on non-farm industries. We propose a method for measuring worker exposure to changes in agricultural tariffs using a newly developed county-level dataset of employment shares by crop and livestock type. These detailed data permit investigation of crop-, livestock-, and non-farm product-specific natural and market-driven shocks on employment and wage outcomes across U.S. counties. We apply the method to examine the spatial concentration of U.S. county-level employment-weighted exposure to changes in tariffs caused by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). |
