The article examines how trade affects wages in the Austrian manufacturing industry. By analyzing wage data from 1996 to 2002, the researchers found that imports from low-wage countries lowered wages, while exports to high-wage countries also had a negative impact on wage growth. This suggests that trade with different types of countries can influence how much workers get paid in Austria.
