Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the 2013 minimum wage reform in Thailand. The study employs a difference‐in‐difference (DID) estimation and utilises data drawn from comprehensive socioeconomic household surveys from 2009 to 2019. The findings suggest that the minimum wage reform significantly increased the average daily earnings, the number of paid days of employment, consumption expenditure per capita, and income per capita. However, the minimum wage reform had little impact on poor households. The results withstand different estimation techniques and a set of additional controls.

Abstract: Is the emphasis placed on domestic value added in trade and industry policy‐making in developing countries consistent with the objective of employment generation through an export‐oriented development strategy? This paper examines the rationale behind this policy emphasis by first revisiting the conventional case for using the value‐added ratio as policy guidance and then undertaking an input–output analysis of the manufacturing industry in Thailand with emphasis on domestic employment generation. The analysis is based on a panel data set covering 74 manufacturing sectors from 1990 to 2015. The findings do not support the widely shared view that industries with a high value‐added ratio have greater potential to create domestic export‐induced employment. The policy implication of the results is that, in this era of economic globalization driven by global production networks, national industry policy needs to be guided by the market potential of products.

Abstract: Trade liberalization has long been expected to contribute to poverty reduction. The economy of Thailand provides an excellent case to study this relationship because its economy has structurally transformed in the past few decades through the export-oriented growth strategies. The purpose of this article is to examine the relative effect of Thailand’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995 on poverty reduction, using a unique data set compiled from labour force survey and tariff data. Variation in production composition across provinces allows us to examine a relative impact of such trade reform. Using the instrument variable estimation, we found that provinces in which employers are concentrated in industries exposed to a greater tariff reduction experience more rapid poverty reduction and more income growth than less exposed provinces. This impact on poverty and income is also more pronounced in urban areas. We hypothesize that labour mobility is a potential channel underpinning this effect.
