The results do not allow to draw any definite statements about this effect. While the impact of exports towards the EU-15 on wages in the countries investigated is likely to be negative in the short run (1-2 years), it seems to be positive in the medium and long run, at least for Hungary and Poland.\nNevertheless, it is clear that the pattern of the CEEC-4 exports towards the EU-15 does not correspond with the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model.\nTherefore, also the theorems of Stolper and Samuelson (1941) and concerning the equalization of factor prices, which are based on the Heckscher-Ohlin model, do not seem accurate to describe the underlying forces linking trade with factor prices. I argue that missing regional and related inter-sectoral labor mobility might be a potential factor preventing employees from taking advantage of trade liberalization. To substantiate this suspicion, however, analysis of more disaggregated data is necessary\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","jelcode":[39,61,86,155],"keyword":[133,178,442,447,348,260,791,585],"class_list":["post-1692","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","jelcode-c23","jelcode-f14","jelcode-f15","jelcode-f16","keyword-central-and-eastern-europe","keyword-eu-enlargement","keyword-factor-prices","keyword-income-distribution","keyword-panel-data","keyword-trade","keyword-visegrad-countries","keyword-wages"],"acf":{"year":2010,"month":4,"day":"","volume":"","number":"047","pages":28,"reviewed":"0","citeid":"FIW_WP_047","fiwseries":"FIW Working Papers","event":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Influence of Trade with the EU-15 on Wages in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia between 1997 and 2005 - FIW<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiw.ac.at\/en\/publications\/the-influence-of-trade-with-the-eu-15-on-wages-in-the-czech-republic-hungary-poland-and-slovakia-between-1997-and-2005\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Influence of Trade with the EU-15 on Wages in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia between 1997 and 2005 - FIW\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I use the STAN database of the OECD and different econometric methods to investigate the effects of exports towards the EU-15 on wages in the Visegrad countries (CEEC-4; Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia).
