Conference on International trade: firms and workers

At the University of Nottingham on 24th and 25th June 2010

Recent developments in international economics have stressed the importance of firm heterogeneity in explaining trade patterns and the effects of increased globalisation. This has coincided with the increasing use of datasets which link information on individual workers to the firms in which they work.

GEP is pleased to host a two-day conference which aims to bring together the theoretical aspects of firm and worker heterogeneity with empirical evidence from linked worker-firm datasets to discuss issues related to globalisation.
