Krugman: Trade and Wages, Reconsidered

Paul Krugman (2008), "Trade and Wages, Reconsidered" http://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/pk-bpea-draft.pdf

Interesting but I would think at least a mention of migration might be useful. Migrants, at least initially, are probably mostly in goods and service production that are not easily substitutable with traded goods. But, these workers are probably important substitutes for US workers in the lower part of the wage pool. In traded goods such as agriculture, they may affect the real exchange rate.
