内容摘要：Since the onset of globalization, production activities have become increasingly fragmented and organized in global value chains (GVC). We investigate the impact of globalization on productivity and labor compensation in advanced and in emerging economies. As indicators for globalization, the foreign share in intermediate inputs and the foreign share in value added are used, extracted from international input output tables. Estimates based on panel models with fixed effects reveal a positive relationship between globalization and productivity. However, the relationship between international trade integration and labor compensation is less clear. We find that hourly wages increase stronger in countries and sectors with higher degree of international trade integration. For advanced economies, the relationship between international trade integration and labor share exhibits different signs for our two measures of globalization. An increase in the foreign share of intermediate inputs is negatively associated with the labor share while the relationship is positive for foreign value added shares. A possible explanation is that different types of workers are affected differently by globalization.
