Authors investigate how credit availability affects the organization of firms’ labor. They construct an instrument for firm’s credit supply based on firm-bank credit linkages and conduct an event study on the decision to reorganize the labor force using Portugal data.

Authors argue that trade policy or new trade agreements can lead firms to adopt more technology, spent higher amount on research, invest in more high-cognitive non-production related tasks and this can lead to hiring of more white-collared female skilled workers.

Imported capital goods raised skill demand in China (2000–2010), leading to increased college attainment and skilled migration. This response accounted for 3.1–7.3 million more graduates—4.4–10.4% of the national increase—with gains concentrated in coastal regions.

This paper studies gender differences in responses to import competition by both individuals and their partners. Men increase labour force participation at older ages and move into self-employment. Male labour supply also increases if their partners are exposed to trade shocks.
