# Trade and Innovation: Matched Worker-Firm-Level Evidence

**Published:** 2016-06-03  
**Categories:** Publications, Working Papers  
**URL:** https://www.etla.fi/en/publications/trade-and-innovation-matched-worker-firm-level-evidence/

This paper examines the relationship between globalization and innovation. To do so, it draws from data that match the full population of workers and private-sector firms in Finland tracking them from 1995 to 2009. To correct for endogeneity the paper considers variation in trade exposure from China during its entry to the world market using a fixed effects model. While the literature on trade and innovation has emphasized the role of firms in driving onshore innovation, the main conclusion of this research is that globalization increases the share of innovators within firms.
