Featured Article: International trade and unemployment: towards an investigation of the Swiss case

International trade and unemployment The topic of this paper, by Lukas Mohler, Rolf Weder and Simone Wyss, has been motivated by the rising unemployment rate of low-skilled, relative to high-skilled, labour in Switzerland. Between 1991 and 2014, Switzerland experienced the highest relative increase in the low-skilled unemployment rate among all OECD countries. The analysis, is based on panel data covering the years 1991 to 2008 and approximately 33,000 individuals employed in the Swiss manufacturing sector.
