“…In columns 5 and 6 of the same table, we also investigate whether our baseline results change when we focus on the changes in predicted wage gaps induced from trade shocks only to the manufacturing sector, as in Blanchard and Olney (). These results are similar to our baseline results presented in the first two columns of Table .…”

“…For example, Atkin () studies how the onset of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which resulted in new jobs in the Mexican manufacturing sector, affected the drop‐out rates of students who lived in municipalities that were more exposed to trade shocks. Another important advancement in this context is from Blanchard and Olney (). They empirically find that educational attainment is affected by exogenously driven changes in the composition of a country's exports; thus, they offer insights into how investment in human capital evolves with changing patterns of trade.…”

“…More specifically, we do not model how trade affect factor prices or skill upgrading; there already exists an extensive literature (e.g., Abdel‐Rahman ; Blanchard and Olney ; Blanchard and Willmann ; Bustos ; Costinot and Vogel ; Dornbusch, Fischer, and Samuelson ; Stolper and Samuelson ).…”

We study how wage gaps across skills and the skill distribution in an economy respond to trade integration. Using administrative data of Denmark (1995–2011), we find that trade has a negative effect on the wage gap between secondary and primary education and a positive effect on the wage gap between tertiary and secondary education. We also show that trade affects skill distribution and induces skill polarization: trade has a positive effect on both the mean and standard deviation of skills. Wage‐gap changes induced by trade shocks explain about 21%–30% of the effect of trade on skills.

“…The human (staff) potential of the university forms the core of an innovative educational environment, around which all the material and technical resources and other resources necessary for the training of specialists come into motion (Blanchard & Olney, 2017). An important role in the work of the teaching staff and in the growth of the qualifications is played by the system of remuneration (wages, bonuses and grant financing).…”

Abstract. The article considers the problem of forming innovative education environment at the universities along with the problem of ensuring long-term competitiveness of education services at both national and global markets. The management model of an innovative education environment is offered, with particular attention being paid to the development of innovative technologies of global education as well as education services' export. Based on the statistical study of the dynamics in the number and composition of foreign students studying in Russia along with a comparative analysis of education costs at the universities-leaders of academic mobility, a forecast is presented concerning the development of the export of Russian universities' knowledge while shaping the innovative education environment inside the country.

“…37 The inverse relationship disappears after controlling for average years of schooling, implying that land-abundant countries are poorer because they are less well educated. This is no coincidence: specialization in less skill-intensive primary sectors reduces the demand for education (Blanchard and Olney 2016). It is also a key reason why the quality of governance matters more for successful development in land-abundant countries than in landscarce countries (Mehlum et al 2006).…”

During 1985During -2015, globalization intensified the factor-endowment-related pattern of sectoral specialization. In skill-abundant developed countries, manufacturing became more skillintensive. In land-scarce developing East Asia, labour-intensive manufacturing expanded, especially in China. In land-abundant developing regions, however, manufacturing stagnated or declined, while in land-scarce South Asia manufacturing was held back by low literacy and weak infrastructure. The shares of service sectors in output and employment increased in most countries, but mainly for reasons unrelated to globalization. Changes in sectoral structure in the decades ahead are subject to much uncertainty, but will continue to be shaped by differences among countries in land abundance and skill supplies. Abstract:
