1 Globalization and Labor Markets Kiel Institute for the World Economy, September 7-11, 2015 Prof. Dr. David Dorn, University of Zurich and CEPR This seminar examines how global economic integration affects labor markets in the United States and in Western Europe, with emphasis on mechanisms related to international trade and offshoring, adoption of new technologies, and international migration. In considering these mechanisms, the course will build on theoretical models and then move to empirical estimation. The syllabus below is preliminary. The final syllabus will contain readings of two sorts. The first, designated by an asterisk, will be emphasized in the lectures.
