Workers in industries with growing export exposure have lasting earning gains: 1. We analyze at which margin export shocks are capitalized into earnings gains: on-the-job with the original employer or in a different firm but within the original industry? 2. Detect meaningful heterogeneity in the export adjustment mechanisms: Are gains from exports reaped by all workers or do better skilled work...
