Economics Webinar - Foreign and Domestic Firms: Long Run Employment Effects of Export Opportunities

12:00pm - 1:30pm
Online via Zoom

We investigate a low-income country's long run employment response to new export opportunities. The U.S.-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement reduced U.S. iimport tariffs on exports from Vietnam. Employment grew faster in the industries most exposed to the U.S. tariff reductions and this was driven by foreign affiliates of multinationals entering Vietnam. Foreign entrants continue to expand employment long after entry-even after 16 years. Most foreign entrants are exporters and from East Asia, highlighting that opportunities created by bilateral agreements are not just limited to signing parties. Vietnam's subsequent capacity growth allows it to export to other markets over time.
