DESCRIPTION:The Competence Centre for International Economics Research (FIW) kindly inv
 ites to participate in the Seminar in International Economics on the topic 
 Bargaining for Trade: When Exporting Becomes Detrimental to Female Wages Pa
 trik Tingvall (National Board of Trade Sweden) and Josefin Videnord (Uppsal
 a University) Abstract: In this paper\, we study exports and how the associ
 ated need for communication with foreign partners shapes the gender wage ga
 p. Specifically\, we examine how the demand for interpersonal skills in tra
 de and gender-specific differences in negotiations are related to the remun
 eration of men and women. Our key finding is that export of goods that are 
 intensive in interpersonal contacts widens the gender wage gap. The negativ
 e wage effect is robust across various specifications and is most pronounce
 d for domestic exporting firms\, which mainly deal with external contractor
 s. We ascribe this result to a male comparative advantage in bargaining—a
  skill that is especially needed and rewarded when serving foreign markets
 \, where intense contracting problems manifest themselves. The presentation
  if available\, will be posted after the event. Patrik Tingvall is a profes
 sor of economics and chief economist at the National Board of Trade Sweden.
  Tingvall also serves as an affiliated researcher at the European Institute
  of Japanese Studies at the Stockholm School of Economics. Tingvall's resea
 rch is focused on international trade\, foreign direct investment\, and eco
 nomic growth\, in which he has numerous publications. In recent years\, que
 stions related to non-tariff barriers\, subsidies\, rules of origin\, the i
 nternationalization of firms\, and the gender pay gap have become increasin
 g areas of his research. During the period 2017-2023\, Tingvall has been in
  charge of a research project exploring various links between the globaliza
 tion of firms and the gender pay gap. A novel feature of this research incl
 udes how the need for buyer-seller interactions for trade to occur and gend
 er differences in negotiations may play a part in the gender pay gap puzzle
 . Josefin Videnord is a Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Economics\, Up
 psala University. She also works as an analyst at the Swedish Agency for Gr
 owth Policy Analysis\, Growth Analysis\, in Stockholm. Josefin Videnord ans
 wers questions at the intersection of international trade and labor economi
 cs to highlight the differential effects of globalization on different grou
 ps of firms and workers. Her research interests also include the impact of 
 international trade on firm behavior\, and in particular on firms' R&D and 
 innovation decisions. The seminar series is organised by the Vienna Institu
 te for International Economic Studies (wiiw) in co-operation with FIW and t
 he European University Institute. The seminar provides a forum for presenta
 tion and discussion of recent academic research in the field of internation
 al economics.
