This paper investigates trade related industrial wage premiums. The procedure involves (1) estimating
industrial wage premiums and (2) linking those estimated wage premiums to trade related variables. Results
reveal that (1) in addition to workers' characteristics, industry characteristics where workers are employed
were important in determining the wages for workers, (2) falling output tariffs resulted in increased wage
premiums, and (3) an increase in intermediate imports exerted a strong positive influence on wage premiums.
Linked employer and employee micro data may provide further insights which are currently not available.
