This paper examines the role of international trade in the reallocation of U.S. manufacturing


within and across industries from 1977 to 1997. Motivated by the factor proportions framework, we


introduce a new measure of industry exposure to international trade that focuses on where imports


originate rather than on their overall level. We find that plant survival and growth are negatively


associated with industry exposure to low-wage country imports. Within industries, we show that


manufacturing activity is disproportionately reallocated towards capital-intensive plants. Finally, we


provide the first evidence that firms adjust their product mix in response to trade pressures. Plants are


more likely to switch industries when exposure to low-wage countries is high.
