摘要：
We study the impact of trade on wage inequality and welfare when the labor market is monopsonistic. Firm heterogeneity in productivity along with workers' idiosyncratic preferences for different firms generate between-firm wage inequality for workers with identical skills. The model features a novel welfare channel of workers' "love of firm variety."Trade liberalization provides additional welfare gains through the firm-variety channel when monopsony power is high but detracts from welfare gains when monopsony power is low.
