Following the U.S.–Mexico trade integration, the skill premium rose dramatically in Mexico. Standard trade theory predicts the skill premium in a skill‐scarce country should fall—not rise—following such an integration. This article reconciles theory and data by building a model in which intermediate producers in Mexico begin to produce for the U.S. supply chain following liberalization. To do so, they must rent ideas from the United States, which are more skill‐intensive, thus increasing the skill premium. This mechanism is supported by the data: Mexican plants and industries that trade more with the United States rent more U.S. technology and have higher skill premia.

贸易,技术变化和工资不平等:以墨西哥为例

在美墨贸易一体化之后,墨西哥的技能溢价急剧上升。标准贸易理论预测,在这种一体化之后,缺乏技能的国家的技能溢价应该下降而不是上升。本文通过建立一个模型来协调理论和数据,在这种模型下,墨西哥的中间生产商在自由化之后开始为美国供应链生产产品。为此,他们必须从美国租用一些技能密集型的想法,从而提高技能水平。数据支持了这种机制:与美国进行更多贸易的墨西哥工厂和工业租用了更多的美国技术,并且具有更高的技能溢价。
