麻省理工学院经济学教授、国家经济研究所研究员大卫.奥托与大卫.多恩和戈登.汉森合写的研究报告分析了1990年至2007年间中国日益强劲的进口竞争对美国地方劳工市场的影响。他们的研究发现，大量的中国进口增加了美国的失业，降低了劳工参与并且令工资下降。保守地统计，美国制造业流失了大约1百万份工作。在受到影响的地区，失业福利补贴、残疾福利、退休和医保费用都大幅度上升。

The China Syndrome: Local Labor Market Effects of Import Competition in the United States
Featured Presenter: David Autor, Professor of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Faculty Research Associate, National Bureau of Economic Research
This research paper, co-authored with David Dorn and Gordon H. Hanson, analyzes the effect of rising Chinese import competition between 1990 and 2007 on local U.S. labor markets. The study finds that rising exposure to Chinese imports increases unemployment, lowers labor force participation, and reduces wages in local labor markets. Conservatively, it explains one-quarter of the aggregate decline in U.S. manufacturing employment in this period (approximately 1 million jobs). Transfer benefits payments for unemployment, disability, retirement and healthcare also rise sharply in exposed labor markets.
