Abstract
⺠The fall of the Iron Curtain implied trade liberalization also for Western Europe. ⺠We study post-1990 Austrian employment and wage changes along the eastern border. ⺠Employment and wages increased more strongly in border regions than in the interior. ⺠The employment effect was around three times as large as the wage effect. ⺠This adjustment parameter can be replicated in an economic geography model.
