published as 'Sectoral adjustment of employment to shifts in outsourcing and trade: evidence from a dynamic fixed effects multinomial logit model' in: Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2007, 22 (3), 559-580
This paper analyzes the effects of trade and outsourcing on the transition probabilities of
employment between sectors, using a dynamic multinomial logit framework with fixed effects.
The data contain individual Austrian male workers over the period 1988-2001. Our results
strongly support the view that international economic forces are important determinants of
labor market turnover. Increases in imports, terms of trade and, especially, in the outsourcing
share negatively affect the probability of staying in or changing into the manufacturing sector,
even more so for industries with a comparative disadvantage.
