Globalization and Labor Market Outcomes
Fondation France Japon de l’EHESS – Keio University conference
10-11 March 2016 (EHESS)

Venue: EHESS (190 Avenue de France 75013 Paris), salle 638-640（6ème étage）)

The impact of globalization—through foreign direct investment (FDI) and international trade—on
domestic labor markets is a very active field of research, at the intersection of international economics
and labor economics. In particular, it has led economists to revisit the analysis of the determinants ofwage inequality by focusing on the heterogeneity of corporate international engagement. This researchalso addresses the causes of increasing employment insecurity and the impact on inequalities throughthis channel. More generally, it is central to the analysis of structural changes in labor markets and in
the design of public policies to tackle them.
In continuity with the publication in 2015 of a special issue of Review of World Economics(Volume151, Number 3) entitled "Globalization and labor market outcomes: de-industrialization, job
security, and wage inequalities", the purpose of this workshop is to gather leading scholars in this fieldof research and to contribute to a better understanding of these key issues for our economies andsocieties.
