This overview compares the advantages of trade for US exporters vs. non-exporters and US importers vs. non-importers. Exporters experience 0.6 to 1.3% faster sales growth and are more likely to receive foreign direct investment (FDI) while being 8.5% less likely to face bankruptcy. They are also more likely to use advanced manufacturing technology. Regarding workers, employees in exporting companies see 2 to 4% faster annual growth in employment and receive approximately $1000 more in annual salaries per 10% of company input. On average, all workers benefit from a 37% increase in imported FDI. Looking at firms with FDI, US multinationals have 11% higher labor productivity compared to US companies without FDI. They also experience 2-4% faster growth and have a higher adoption rate (31%) of advanced manufacturing technologies. Workers in these firms benefit from a 7 to 15% wage premium, with white and blue-collar workers seeing a 13% and 19% wage premium respectively. The source of this information is Lewis and Richardson's study titled "Why Global Commitment Really Matters" from 2001.
