      abstract = {An I/O model of U.S. is used to examine the effects of  trade and domestic consumption on the separate and  interactive effects of trade, technology, and labor  productivity on the demand for skilled and unskilled  workers for 1972, 1987, and 1993.  The results suggest that  trade has not been the major contributor to changes in  demand for skilled vs. unskilled labor during the period  examined, counter to the continuing debate on theory and on  evidence supporting  the trade- widening wage gap linkage.  We found the ratio of high skilled to low-skilled workers  was higher for exports than imports and has risen over  time, suggesting that U. S. has moved toward more  skilled-labor intensive exports.  The effect of trade on  rural workers is to reinforce structural trends already  working to the disadvantage of rural workers.},
