“…We can conclude that the results presented in this paper are in line with the previous research studies described in the paper that were focused on individual EU Member States (e.g. Balsvik et al ., ; Donoso et al ., ; Federico, ), which all point out that the Chinese imports have adverse effects on labour market outcomes encompassing not only employment but also differences in wages, number of firms, price dynamics and finally the output. This paper shows a more pronounced picture by analyzing the impact of China's EU market penetration, both in the short and long run, as well as for different categories of products.…”

The impact of China's imports on European Union industrial employment

As the EU's biggest supplier of imported goods and a second trading partner, China has become an increasingly important actor on the global economic scene. This paper reports new evidence through analyzing whether the EU labour market is affected by exposure to imports from China. Drawing on a panel dataset of 27 EU countries, over the 2003–2013 period, and using the pooled mean group estimator, the results show that imports from China have a negative effect on industrial employment. This result holds separately for the all analyzed categories: all products, manufactured products as well as for the sub‐groups.

The costs and benefits of exchange rate protection in China

From 2002 to 2011, China ran large surpluses in both the current and capital accounts of its balance of payments, which the People's Bank of China (PBOC) purchased and held at official foreign reserves to avoid nominal appreciation of the currency. Concurrently, with its massive purchases of foreign exchange, the PBOC compelled commercial banks to buy PBOC ‘sterilisation bonds’ and raised commercial bank reserve requirement ratios to avoid monetisation of its foreign exchange purchases and concomitant upward pressure on the price level (that is, real appreciation of the currency). Sterilising foreign exchange intervention, as China did for a decade, constitutes a violation of the implicit rules of a fixed exchange rate regime and as such can be seen as a mercantilist policy of manipulating the real exchange rate to gain, or avoid losing, international price competitiveness—what Corden (1981) termed ‘exchange rate protection’. This paper sets out the simple theory of the costs and benefits of exchange rate protection and provides back‐of‐the‐envelope estimates of their magnitude in China in the 2000s. It also explores the ‘other side of the story’, the decline in US manufacturing employment in the 2000s, which recent literature attributes to a ‘China Trade Shock’ that allegedly resulted from the US granting Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) to China in 2001. Here, it is argued that the so‐called China Trade Shock resulted from China's sterilised intervention policy, not the granting of PNTR. The implications of these competing hypotheses are considered in the conclusions.

Occupational Mobility of Routine Workers

This paper demonstrates that the decline in routine occupations and concurrent rise in abstract occupations are largely due to workers changing jobs. The reduction in routine manual tasks is further explained by workers transitioning to unemployment or retirement. In contrast, the increase in non‐routine manual occupations is primarily driven by the entry of young or unemployed individuals into the workforce. Plant closure information is used to identify involuntary job separations. These findings indicate that routine cognitive workers can adjust to smaller employment disruptions compared to routine manual workers among women. However, a contrasting pattern is observed for men.
