Summary:

Globalization and the growing integration of national markets have had profound effects on the operation of markets, not least labor markets. In this book, a range of leading commentators on globalization and labor markets present original contribution on the interaction between these two areas. This book assesses the impact of globalization on trade, cross-border investment, and migration from both a theoretical and econometric standpoint and discusses the possible applications of this analysis for both industrialized and developing countries.
