I'm researching the long-term economic impacts of globalization for a university paper, and while the theory suggests overall growth, I'm trying to understand the mechanisms behind the disproportionate concentration of gains. Specifically, I'm examining how trade liberalization and capital mobility have affected wage stagnation for middle-skill workers in developed nations versus the rise of high-skilled and capital incomes. For others studying this, what are the most compelling recent studies or economic models that quantify these distributional effects, and how do they account for factors like technological change versus pure trade effects?
