For a 2018 summary (not including Houseman) but citing the previous two see urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/97781/… | |
| Jul 1, 2018 at 5:41 | comment | added | days of love iff good genes | The original number was 85% apparently, and was reported in FT "according to a study by the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University". The same study reported 13% of the losses due to trade. But the FT article also said "Another, more recent, MIT study estimated that rising Chinese imports from 1999 to 2011 cost up to 2.4m American jobs." This is much higher percentage of the 5.6m losses. The dismal science strikes again. | |

Updated after listening to actual claim, which is weaker than the quoted text.

Focus on specific claim, not broader economics
