摘要
The federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program was designed to aid workers who have lost their jobs because of increased import competition. Linear earnings functions provide little evidence that the TAA program increases the subsequent wages of its participants over comparable unemployment insurance (UI) exhaustees. However; adjusting for time spent training, TAA trainees were employed more than comparable nontrainees. (JEL J68).
