The Impact of International Trade on Wages is a volume of ten papers, along with remarks by discussants, which were originally presented at a National Bureau of Economic Research conference in early 1998. In general, the papers have a strong empirical orientation, and they are focused squarely on the experience of the United States over the last thirty years or so. Although economic historians cannot expect to learn anything about the international economy prior to 1960 from this volume, they might learn a great deal about different methodological approaches to the study of international trade and factor prices.
