Journal of the European Economic Association 8(2-3): 434-441.1542-47661542-4774http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:9299644We extend the theoretical framework in Cuñat and Melitz (2007) to a many-country setup where countries exhibit different degrees of labor market fexibility. We rely on the insights from a recent paper by Costinot (2009) to obtain precise predictions about comparative advantage in this setting: countries with more fexible labor markets specialize in more volatile industries.en-USJournal Article2012-07-2510.1111/j.1542-4774.2010.tb00514.x
