The Trade Impact of China on EMU : Is It Even Across Members? / Esther Perez Ruiz, Uffe Mikkelsen.

We use a Ricardian-gravity trade model to estimate sectoral competitiveness in individual euro area countries. Simulations on the impact of productivity shocks in Chinese textiles and machinery suggest that the required adjustment in wages, prices, and factor re-allocation is widely heterogenous across euro area countries on accounts of their different specialization patterns. This raises the question of the distribution of gains and losses from external trade shocks. Mode of access: Internet Mikkelsen, Uffe.
