Paper Summary

The study looked at how exporting affects the demand for workers with different skill levels in German companies. They used data from 2000 to 2014 and found that firms in manufacturing that start exporting tend to hire more highly skilled workers. However, this trend was not seen in firms that stopped exporting or in the service sector.
