This paper investigates the effects of NAFTA preferences on labor market outcomes in the United States. First, we review prior literature that has quantified these economic effects over the last twenty years. Then we turn from the past to the present. We ask how NAFTA preference margins affect U.S. labor markets today. We use a CGE model and detailed data on NAFTA preference margins to estimate these economic effects.
