Abstract:
I develop a model of endogenous economic growth and search and matching 
frictions in the labor market. I study the effect
of trade liberalization between two identical economies on unemployment. 
I solve for two versions of the growth model,
the first one where trade liberalization has only a temporary effect on 
growth, a semi-endogenous growth model.
In the second version trade liberalization has a permanent effect on 
growth, a fully endogenous growth model. I show that
in both versions trade liberalization has a steady state effect on 
unemployment that is negative for countries with a
relatively larger R&D sector and positive otherwise.
