4 Absrac Foreign markes deermine success and failure of hose indusries ha have become relian on foreign demand, impair he demand for employmen and invoke changes in occupaional fields and qualificaion requiremens. This paper aims o disclose he direc and indirec influence of major rading parners on Germany s producion, employmen, and qualificaion needs. I projecs he effecs by using he dynamic macro-economeric inpu-oupu model INFORGE. Indusrialised economies are he mos imporan deerminans for employmen in he manufacuring indusries. Business-relaed services are highly indirecly affeced. The growh impac of indusrialised naions is declining while BRICS naions are gaining momenum. A shif owards higher qualificaion needs can be observed. Zusammenfassung Ausländische Märke besimmen über Erfolg oder Misserfolg von Branchen, die von der Auslandsnachfrage abhängig geworden sind, beeinrächigen die Arbeisnachfrage und verändern Berufs- und Qualifikaionsanforderungen. Dieses Papier unersuch die direken und indireken Einflüsse der wichigsen Handelsparner auf die Produkion, die Beschäfigung und den Qualifikaionsbedarf in Deuschland. Zur Quanifizierung dieser Effeke wird das dynamische makro-ökonomerische Inpu- Oupu-Modell IAB/INFORGE verwende. Die hochenwickelen Indusrieländer sind die wichigsen Deerminanen für die Beschäfigung im Verarbeienden Gewerbe. Unernehmensbezogene Diensleisungen sind nur indirek beroffen. Das Wachsum der Indusrienaionen is jedoch rückläufig, während die BRICS Saaen an Dynamik gewinnen. Eine Verschiebung hin zu höheren Qualifikaionsanforderungen konne beobache werden.

5 1 Inroducion Sudies on foreign rade and is economic impacs are numerous. Since Ricardo (1817), i is sandard economic hinking ha inernaional division of work is welfare enhancing even if a counry shows comparaive disadvanages in he producion of all goods. Based on ha, free rade has been seen as superior o proecionism alhough laer sudies e.g. Samuelson (2004) relaivised Ricardo by showing consellaions when inernaional division of work can also lead o a permanen loss in welfare. Neverheless, accompanied by he insiuional seing of he General Agreemen on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in he wake of he Second World War, he world experienced a fas increase of oal rade. Beween 1950, wo years afer GATT came ino force, and 2010, fifeen years afer he se-up of he GATT s successor he World Trade Organizaion (WTO), world merchandise expors increased on average by 6% per year, while world merchandise producion only increased by 3.7% p.a. 1 Graph 1 World merchandise in expors and producion, Source: For Germany, he rade channel has become one of he major conribuors o economic growh. In he las years, sudies on foreign rade in Germany concenraed mosly on he analysis of he phenomenon of he bazaar economy ha was firs inroduced o he German economy by Sinn (2005). Whereas some sudies concenraed more on he inernaional comparison of expor-induced performances (Ahler 2012, Brauzsch/Ludwig 2005), ohers esed he bazaar-hypohesis (Kfw 2004) or exended he analysis by is effec on he labour marke (IMK 2008).

6 based on he applicaion of inpu-oupu ables as hey differeniae beween inermediae and final, direc and indirec as well as beween domesic and impored goods and services. Differen o mos oher sudies, Prognos (2011) has conneced German expors o major rading parners of Germany and measured heir direc and indirec impac on Germany s economic performance in erms of producion and employmen. The paper a hand aims o exen his analysis in wo imporan fields. 1. Firs, his paper applies a dynamic economeric inpu-oupu-model which produces a long-erm projecion and hence enables o look a fuure changes in expor srucures and is effecs on he domesic economy. 2. Second, his paper enhances he employmen analysis by connecing employmen by indusries o occupaional fields and qualificaion levels. The analysis is conduced by applying inpu-oupu analysis on a dynamic macroeconomeric forecasing and simulaion, single-counry model. The applied mehodology is inroduced in more deail in he following chaper. Then, he srucure of Germany s expor relaions is idenified. Following-up, he expor-induced effecs on producion, employmen, occupaion and qualificaion are presened. The paper closes wih a summary and implicaions of he resuls. 2 Mehodology 2.1 The Modelling Framework This paper uses a modelling approach ha exends he dynamic macro-economeric inpu-oupu model INFORGE (Maier e al. 2013, Ahler e al. 2009) in wo economic areas: Firs, German expors are linked o and deermined by a rade module ha explicily considers bilaeral rade by counries and by producs. Second, he labour marke is exended by a labour demand module ha convers employmen by economic indusries o employmen by occupaional fields and qualificaion levels. 2 Figure 1 shows an overview of he modelling framework. The economic core of he model including he rade module is represened by he macroeconomic IAB/INFORGE model. Whereas he IAB/INFORGE model iself is basically consruced as a boom-up model, he overall modelling framework follows a op-down approach wih no feedbacks from employmen by occupaional fields and/or employmen by qualificaion levels. In he subsequen secors, he macroeconomic IAB/INFORGE model and is rade module are described in deail followed by he specificaion of he ransformaion of employmen o occupaional fields and qualificaion levels. 2 Compare also IAB-Discussion Paper 7/2013 6

7 Figure 1 Simplified Illusraion of he Modelling Framework The mulisecoral macroeconomic model IAB/INFORGE The IAB/INFORGE-model has been developed by he Insiue of Economic Srucures Research (GWS) and has been esed in numerous applicaions in he field of research and policy analysis (Ulrich e al. 2012, Barker e al. 2011, Lindenberger 2010). The model belongs o he INFORUM family of modelling (Almon 1991) ha ress on wo basic fundamenals: Boom-up consrucion and oal inegraion. The former indicaes ha each indusrial secor is modeled individually and ha macroeconomic variables are calculaed hrough explici aggregaion. This approach ensures ha each individual secor is embedded wihin he economic conex and ha indusrial inerdependencies are explicily incorporaed and used o explain economic ineracion. The laer describes a complex and simulaneous soluion which akes ino consideraion iner-indusrial dependence as well as he disribuion of income, he redisribuion effecs of he sae and he usage of income for goods. Thus, he inpu-oupu ables are fully implemened in he naional accouns (Ahler e al. 2009, Diselkamp e al. 2003). Boh daases are specified for improving he idenificaion for gross fixed capial formaion, privae consumpion, sae consumpion and foreign rade. Labour marke specifics are consisenly embedded in he macroeconomic conex hrough oupu and uni coss. Macroeconomic indicaors are deermined by aggregaion of 59 indusries. INFORGE solves simulaneously, is dynamic over ime and is described by nonlinear funcions. Is basic daase consiss of inpu-oupu-ables and naional accouns. The applied model in his paper follows he school of evoluionary economics (Nelson/Winer 1982) as feaures like echnological change, imperfec compei- IAB-Discussion Paper 7/2013 7

8 ion and inerdependencies, or parially sicky prices are sandard characerisics. In INFORGE, parameers and heir elasiciy values are esimaed economerically wih given ime series for a large number of variables. An inegral elemen of inpu-oupu-modelling is he deerminaion of inermediae demand beween indusries. Inpu coefficiens represen he relaion of inermediae demand o oal producion. In IAB/INFORGE echnological change is idenified by applying variable inpu coefficiens. They are endogenously deermined by relaive prices and ime rend. Using he Leonief-inverse (I-A) -1 wih A as inpu coefficien marix and I as ideniy marix and muliplying i wih final demand (fd), gross producion (y) by 59 indusries is given. In he following equaions he noaions are as follows: Lower case leers are vecors, upper case leers are eiher imes series or marices. The dimension of vecors and marices are indicaed wih subscrips. The subscrip indicaes ime dependency. y = I A 1 fd [1] ( ) In many macroeconomic models, privae consumpion is based on he almos ideal demand sysem (AIDS) approach (e.g. Kraena/Wüger 2006), which allows for he esimaion of consumpion srucures according o uiliy maximizaion behaviour and consequenly does build upon he assumpion of a represenaive individual (Deaon/Muelbauer 1980). Differen o his approach, INFORGE esimaes consumpion paerns by 41 purposes of use (c) as a funcion of real disposable income (Y/P) and relaive prices (p/p). For some consumpion purposes, rends (T) as proxy for longerm change in consumpion behaviour or demographic indicaors (DI) like households or differen age groups are used as explanaory variables. [2] c, = c, ( Y / P, p, / P, T, DI ) l [ 1,...,41] l i l INFORGE differeniaes beween en classificaions of he funcions of governmens for modelling sae expendiures as final consumpion. 80% of oal expendiures are due o four governmen funcions alone: (i) public adminisraion, (ii) educaion, (iii) healh and (iv) social welfare. Driving forces for sae consumpion are disposable income of he governmen (YG), employmen (E) as well as demographic change (B). [3] g k, = gk, ( YG, E, B ) k [ 1,...,10] Gross fixed capial formaion is he resul of separae modelling of producion invesmen (including oher invesmens in equipmen) and building invesmen. Producion invesmens (i) by 59 indusries are deermined by indusrial producion (y). In some indusries ime lags are explicily considered.

9 Prices are esimaed economerically. Basic prices (p) which are decisive for enrepreneurs are he resul of uni coss (uc) and mark-up pricing. The exen o which mark-up pricing can be realised depends on he marke form prevailing in specific indusrial secors. In indusries wih monopolisic srucures, mark-up pricing is easier o realize han in compeiive indusrial srucures. Indusries ha are srong in expors also have o consider impor prices (pim) as hey are exposed o foreign compeiors as well. [5] = p ( uc pim ) i [ 1,...,59] p i, i, i,, i, The labour demand funcion depends on he number of hours employees work (volume of work). This approach depends on wo imporan observaions: Firs, a volume-based approach o labour demand considers he growing imporance of parime employees; second, labour policy insrumens such as shor-ime work can be explicily addressed. Working hours (h) are deermined by secor-specific producion (y). In some indusries real wages (ae/p) are also influenial. h i, = hi, ( aei, / pi,, yi, ) [6] i [ 1,...,59] Average earnings are deermined by using a Phillips curve approach. Accordingly, average earnings by indusry (ae) on he one hand depend on ariff wages (AE) (e.g. in machine consrucion) and on he oher hand on secor-specific produciviy (y/h). ae i, = aei, ( AE, yi, / h ) [7] i [ 1,...,59] Finally, he number of employees (e) is derived by definiion, dividing he number of working hours (h) by working ime per year and head (hy). The laer is prese exogenously. e i [ 1,...,59] i, = i, / i, [8] h hy The Trade Module: Deermining Expors In INFORGE, world rade iself is handled as an exogenous facor bu wih a more sophisicaed modelling approach han normally observed a sand-alone, singlecounry models. In he rading parner economies, feedback effecs via wage, price or volume adapaion are no considered. Expors are driven by exogenously given world rade dynamics for German goods which are modelled in wo dimensions: By goods and services and by expor demanding counries. This allows accouning for diverging speeds in economic developmens as well as for differen demand srucures by counries. Saring poin in INFORGE are he economic forecass (gdpf) for 54 counries and wo regions (OPEC and Res of World) aken from he Inernaional Moneary Fund 3, 3 World Economic Oulook Daabase of he Inernaional Moneary Fund (IMF).

11 four levels, in line wih he ISCED classificaion. The daa on occupaional fields and qualificaions is based on long ime series from he micro census, which is a one per cen sample of he oal populaion and provides resuls for he enire range of employmen (including he self-employed, assisans, civil servans and soldiers). However, only he respecive srucures (percenages) from he micro census are used for he final resuls, as he daa on he employed from he IAB/INFORGE model which is aken as a saring poin is based on he benchmark figures from he naional accouns. On he basis of daa from he micro censuses from 1996 o 2008 we generae he informaion how many people were employed in each occupaional field in each indusrial secor, and how many of hose employed in each occupaional field had which kind of qualificaion. This gives rise o shares which reflec he disribuion of occupaional fields in he economic secor for each year (share marix P), and he configuraion according o he highes qualificaion for each occupaional field (share marix Q). To forecas he fuure labour demand, hese shares are exrapolaed in ime as rends. Variaions from a long erm monoone rend are considered as random. For each share o i () here will be a long erm sauraion level a*i which will be approached asympoically by o i (). However, i mus be noed ha (1.) a*i can only have a value beween 0 and 1, and (2.) hey mus add up o 1 in every indusrial secor or occupaional field a all imes. Thus, by aking he above resricions ino accoun, 54 rends are calculaed for each of he 59 indusrial secors, and five rends for each of he 54 occupaional fields. Afer a series of analyses i was shown ha logisic rend exrapolaion delivered he mos susainable resuls for he problem area a hand. Wih regard o logisic rend esimaion, i is assumed ha he esimaed shares asympoically approach a sauraion level. A he same ime i is warraned ha boh condiions menioned above are me by he seleced esimaion procedure.

Accordingly, he formula for he qualificaion shares is as follows: [15] 1 ( 1+ exp( am, n + bm, n ) ) q m [ 1,...,5 ], n [ 1,...,54] m, n, = 5 = q m 1 m, n, q m,n, represens he share of labour wih qualificaion level (m) in occupaional field (n) a ime () wih a m,n and b m,n as he parameers o be esimaed.

12 2.2 Design of Analysis The calculaion of expor-induced direc and indirec producion and employmen belongs o sandard inpu-oupu-analysis (Holub/Schnabl 1994). Similar o equaion [1], he deerminaion of expor-induced producion (y x ) needs he Leonief-inverse (I-A) -1 bu insead of muliplying i wih oal final demand, only he expor vecor (x) of equaion [13] is used. y x = I A 1 x [16] ( ) Expor-induced employmen (e x ) is rerieved by muliplying he employmen coefficien (b) lef-hand-sided wih he Leonief-Inverse and he expor vecor. e x = b* I A 1 x [17] ( ) The oal of expor-induced producion and employmen can be separaed ino direcly and indirecly induced effecs. Indirec effecs are iniiaed by iner-indusrial producion relaions and are in general higher in hose indusries ha funcion as componen supplier for oher indusries. Direc effecs are sronger in hose indusries ha produce final producs for consumers. Direc effecs of expor-induced producion and employmen can be deermined equal o equaion [16] and [17] by using he diagonal elemens of he Leonief-Inverse (Holub/Schnabl 1994). In order o deermine counry specific impulses, oal expor (x) has o be replaced in equaion [16] and [17] by counry specific expors (x cc ). 8 Counry-specific, expor-induced, direc and indirec effecs on employmen by occupaional fields and qualificaion levels are elaboraed afer he effecs on oal employmen and employmen by indusrial levels are generaed according o equaion [17]. Toal effecs on occupaional level (e xp ) are measured by using employmen effecs by indusrial levels (e x ) muliplied wih he esimaed share marix O. 9 = n [ 1,...,54 ], i [ 1,...,59] xp x [18] e * O e n, i, Accordingly, employmen effecs on qualificaion levels (e xq ) are rerieved by applying he share marix Q. = m [ 1,...,5 ], n [ 1,...,54] xp x [19] e e * Qm, n, 3 Germany s rade in expors The growh conribuion of expors in Germany, as shown in Graph 2, was mosly posiive and dominaing o he oher deerminans of GDP in he pas.

The resuls have o be inerpreed according o heir underlying mehodology. The analysis described in chaper 2.2 is designed o show only he gross effecs on producion and employmen. The ne effecs of he analysis are lower as he conaining effecs of impors are considered. Furher, he analysis concenraes foremos on he disclosure of srucural changes iniiaed by expors over ime and less on he explici figures wihin a cerain year. The counry-specific, expor-induced changes are aggregaed and limied o hree regions: BRICS, NAFTA and Eurozone. The choice of regions is due o hree reasons: firs, he BRICSquine assembles hose counries wih he highes speed in economic developmen and, simulaneously, wih a comparaively high share in German expors. Second, he NAFTA region represens a counry group ha includes indusrialized economies 13 The NAFTA (Norh American Free Trade Agreemen) is a rilaeral rade bloc creaed by he USA, Canada and Mexico. 14 ROW is he abbreviaion for res of he world. 15 BRICS is he abbreviaion of he five fas-developing counries Brazil, Russia, India, China and Souh-Africa.

Third, he Eurozone covers a homogenous group of economies ha are no only member of he European Union bu also of he European Currency Union. 4.1 Aggregae expor-induced Producion and Employmen Direc and indirec, expor-induced producion and employmen in oal (Graph 5) and by regions (Graph 6) are shown for a seleced number of years in he following. Graph 5 illusraes ha expor-induced producion has nearly ripled from 1995 o 2007 and will furher increase unil 2025 albei o a slighly slower exen. Direc effecs on producion have exceeded indirec effecs in he pas. The raio will change a he laes in 2020 when indirec expor-induced producion will be predominan. In 2007, expor-induced direc producion held a share of 29% on oal producion; by 2025, his share will subsanially increase o slighly over 40%. The resul indicaes ha on he one hand, expor-induced producion remains he leading facor for overall growh. And, on he oher hand, inermediae producion is gaining momenum as he indirec producion effecs are dominan in he fuure. The gross effecs on employmen also show a consan and srong upswing in direcly and indirecly expordependen workplaces. The developmen is slower compared o producion in curren prices. During 1995 and 2007, he number of expor-induced employees has no even doubled. Wihin he nex fifeen years, he developmen will slow down considerably bu he oal number of expor-induced employees (gross effec) is sill increasing. By he end of he projecion horizon, he number of workplaces indirecly dependen on expor is exceeding. The slower developmen on he labour marke is explained by he sluggish labour marke. In relaion o he oal number of employees, he numbers of employees direcly exposed o expors amouned o 15% in Unil 2025, he raio will increase slighly o 18%.

17 Wih respec o differen regions, he developmens in he pas and in he fuure differ considerably. The Eurozone, Nafa and BRICS encoun for around 60% of oal expor-induced gross producion and gross employmen. The Eurozone wih presenly 40% conribues he sronges share on expor-induced (gross) producion and employmen. However, already since he lae 1990s, he Eurozone faces a declining share on expor-induced producion and employmen and, by 2025, he share will have been subsanially reduced o 34%. The same is rue for he NAFTA region wih he USA, Canada and Mexico as leading economies. Wih currenly 8% on oal expor-induced producion and employmen, his region experienced is greaes influence on Germany s producion in he year 2000 wih a share on expor-induced producion of 12% respecively 11% on employmen. In conras, he BRICS naions sared in 1995 wih a share in producion and employmen of 5%. Unil he lae 1990s, his raio remained more or less consan bu sared o increase seadily in he early years of he 2 nd cenury. By now, he expor-induced producion and employmen share is a 12% respecively 13%.

20 The large number of expor-induced employees in he business-relaed service secor is mainly due o indirec effecs which emphasises he dependency of his secor o oher indusries. This dependency can be direcly linked o he imporance of labour leasing for he manufacuring indusries. Oher indusries ha reflec a high indirec dependency on expors wih respec o employmen are he whole sale secor, he ranspor secor as well as he secor relaed o he producion of crude oil and naural gas. The expor-induced employmen in he moor vehicle indusry is mainly direcly linked o he expor channel. The same holds for he food producing indusry as well as he indusry for medical, precision and opical insrumens. Unil 2025, he business-relaed service secor remains he indusry wih he larges direcly and indirecly dependen workplaces. The indirec effec is even larger.

Bu apar from ha, he hree produc groups differ considerably in deail. While he chemical indusry shows he highes dependency on expors ino he hree regions and he highes share of expor-induced producion by he Eurozone, he machinery indusry reveals a very srong dependence of expor-induced producion on he fas developing economies. The auomobile indusry insead shows a producion dependency somewhere siuaed beween boh exremes. Already oday he machinery indusry relies excepionally srong on expors bound o he BRICS naions. Unil 2025, he share will increase o roughly 30%, whils in he case of auomobiles or chemical producs he share will increase beween 15% and 20%. The auomobile indusry illusraes is srong dependence on he wo larges car markes of he world, he USA and China. The NAFTA region has he sronges impac on auomobile producion bu he BRICS region is gaining momenum if only recenly. 4.3 Expor-induced employmen by occupaion The effecs of he ransmission of expor-induced employmen by economic secors o expor-induced employmen by occupaional fields are displayed for he years 2007 and 2025 for he fifeen mos affeced occupaions in Graph 10. By far, clerical work is he field which mosly relaes o expor flows. This is even more remarkable, as his occupaion comprises he larges number of employees: nearly 12% of all employees are grouped in his occupaional field. Alhough boh he direc and indirec channels are he sronges compared o all oher occupaions, he indirec effecs more han double he direc effecs. This significan and mosly indirec exposure o expor is linked o he observaion made in he previous chaper: Employmen in he business-relaed service secor displays he sronges direc and indirec expor-induced employmen effec. The same holds for execuive funcions. The srong effecs on echnical occupaions are he resul of he high expor-exposure of he manufacuring indusry in oal. Noiceable is he relaively srong indirec effec on labourers in ranspor. This accouns for he high indirec expor-induced employmen effecs in he ranspor service secor. Unil 2025, expor-induced employmen effecs by occupaional fields are increasing, despie a shif in he srucural composiion. Occupaions relaed o he businessrelaed service secor and indirec effecs are geing more prominen. Parallel, more service-oriened jobs are becoming more prominen like e.g. in he field of informaion and communicaion or of ranspor services. IAB-Discussion Paper 7/

Presenly, he expor-induced effecs for primary, secondary and upper educaion (ISECD 1, 2 and 3a) 18 are similar o higher and eriary educaion levels (ISCED 5a and 6). 17 Individuals grouped in he caegory ISCED 3b have eiher successfully compleed a vocaional raining programme or finished dual educaion (e.g. Berufsschule).

The 2009 recession as well as he recovery process in he years o follow was mainly driven by foreign rade developmens. The German rade srucure reveals ha Germany s rade flows are concenraed on indusrialised economies grouped in he OECD and wih over 60% of oal expors on he counries of he European Union. Meanwhile, he impac of he fas developing economies of he BRICS-quine is gaining momenum. On produc level, he increasing impac of he BRICS naions can already be observed a he example of machinery and equipmen, where he demand from non-oecd counries exceeds 20%. The paper a hand has applied he advanages of inpu-oupu analysis on idenifying he effecs of expor flows on he German labour marke. I has exended oher works on his subjec in wo imporan fields: Firs, i has applied a dynamic economeric inpu-oupu-model which produces a long-erm projecion and hence enables o look a fuure changes in rade srucures and is effecs on he domesic econ- IAB-Discussion Paper 7/

The resuls show ha he dependence of domesic producion and employmen on expor has increased significanly during he pas and are expeced o increase furher in he fuure. Indirec effecs are geing more and more prominen. Currenly, indusrialised economies are he mos imporan deerminans for employmen especially in he manufacuring indusries. Bu he growh impac is declining and he impac of he BRICS naions is geing more relevan by On indusrial level, he highes employmen and producion effecs are received in hose hree indusries ha accoun for roughly 40% of oal expors in Germany: The car indusry, machinery producers and he chemical indusry. Mosly direc effecs accoun for his resul. When indirec effecs are also considered, he business-relaed service secor becomes one of he secors sronges exposed o expors. This demonsraes he high dependency on oher expor-oriened indusries like he car indusry hrough work lease. Clerical workers are he sronges and mosly indirecly effeced occupaion by expor flows. Technicians, engineers and indusry and ool mechanics are srongly demanded occupaions bu far less significanly exposed o expors. Occupaions insead wih execuive funcions are becoming increasingly dominan and expor-exposed. Wih respec o formal qualificaion needs, he analysis shows ha mainly qualificaion levels wih a srong pracice orienaion (vocaional raining) depend highly on expor flows. The imporance of his qualificaion level reflecs he echnical and indusrial orienaion of he employmen fields mosly affeced by expors. Employees wih universiy degree or higher are only lile exposed o exporinduced changes. Bu in he fuure, a slighly sronger shif owards higher qualificaion needs in expor-oriened indusries can be observed: The demand for higher educaion is increasing faser han oher ISCED levels, alhough he dominance of he pracice-oriened qualificaion levels remains. The analysis shows, ha Germany s expor dependency has srong domesic effecs on producion and employmen. Labour demand srongly depends on rade and simulaes especially he fuure demand for MINT occupaions 19 and higher educaion. For policy implicaion, he rade effec on employmen should no be underesimaed. A shif owards a sronger domesic growh share as suggesed by for insance Peer Bofinger (2013) wih his demand o lower inernaional compeiiveness via a raise in wages and salaries of up o 5% would have implicaions on he specific labour demand. A less expor-dependen growh pah of Germany in he fuure would mos likely lower he demand for MINT occupaions and hence lower he pressure on he curren discussion on skill shorages. 19 MINT summarises occupaions relaed o mahemaics, informaics, naural science and echnology.

27 The resuls presened are gross effecs on producion and employmen induced by expor o 54 rading counries and 2 regions. Effecs iniiaed by impor flows are no considered. Fuure work on his opic should encouner his effec as he resuls he ne effecs are expeced o be smaller. Above ha, encounering he impor effecs migh also invoke subsanial impacs on srucural levels including indusries, occupaions and qualificaions. Hence, he implicaions of a ne effec analysis on indusrial secors, occupaional fields and qualificaion levels migh differ o he presened gross effecs no only in heigh bu also in is srucural composiion. The applicaion of he mehodology o oher componens of oal demand would help o classify he expor-induced resuls. Addiionally, he idenificaion of fuure skill shorages can only be esimaed if a full-fledged labour supply forecas on occupaional and educaional level is included in he analysis. The expansion of he FTCS wih respec o moving impor quoes, could improve he impac analysis of exporinduced changes. The applied saus-quo assumpion is likely o underesimae he described effecs as expors normally grow faser han producion. Furher, he impac is likely o be underesimaed also because indirec rade flow effecs on he rading parners are no endogenized. Bu such effecs canno be capured by a single-counry model like INFORGE. Muli-counry or muli-regional macro-economeric models such as GINFORS or GRAM are more proper insrumens o include reacion funcions of he rading parner economies.
