Abstract

The current paper estimates the number of jobs dependent on extra EU exports by means of multi-region input-output modelling. The estimation results of the authors show that: In 2017, EU exports to the world are more important than ever, supporting 36 million jobs in the EU. On average each billion euros of extra-EU exports supported more than 13,000 jobs in the EU. Export-related jobs are, on average, 12% better paid than other jobs in the rest of the economy. The export wage premium ranges from 10% to 18%, depending on the workers’ skill level and occupational profile.
