It is widely believed that globalization affcts the extent of employment and
wage responses to economic shocks. To provide evidence for this, we analyze
the effect of firms' exporting behavior on the elasticity of labor demand. Using
rich, German administrative linked employer-employee panel data from 1996
to 2008, we explicitly control for self-selection into exporting and endogeneity
concerns. In line with our theoretical model, we find that exporting at both
the intensive and extensive margins significantly increases the (absolute value
of the) unconditional own-wage labor demand elasticity. This is not only true
for the average worker, but also for different skill groups. For the median
firm, the elasticity is three-quarters higher when comparing exporting to nonexporting
firms.
