ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

We build a theoretical model that incorporates unionization in the\u00a0labor market into a Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson (HOS) framework to investigate the impact of unionization on the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem.<\/div>\n
To capture the American economy case, we assume that unskilled labor in\u00a0the manufactured goods sector is unionized, and that sector is intensive\u00a0in skilled labor, and that trade liberalization increases the relative price\u00a0of manufactured goods. In the HOS model, trade liberalization induces\u00a0a reallocation of production towards the sector that uses intensively the\u00a0country’s most abundant factor. The resulting change in relative labor demand impacts wage bargaining in the unionized sector, which, in turn, has\u00a0a dampening eect on the Stolper-Samuelson eect. Moreover, wages of\u00a0unionized workers are even less responsive to trade liberalization. Through\u00a0traditional mandated-wages regressions, we show that skilled-wage dierentials changes were less pronounced among more unionized sectors in the\u00a0U.S. economy for the 1979-1990 period.<\/div>\n
