David Dorn

David Dorn appears in Why economists got free trade with China so wrong as one of David Autor’s coauthors on the research line that made the China Shock visible. The episode names Dorn with [[GordonHansen|Gordon Hanson]] as part of the empirical challenge to overly smooth assumptions about trade adjustment.

The source does not develop Dorn biographically. His role in the wiki is as part of the research team behind the regional evidence that connects Chinese import exposure to Regional Labor Market Scarring, persistent worker loss, and the split between local recovery and People Versus Places Recovery.
