Should the frontline trade model be phased out?

The frontline industry model assumes that internationally exposed industries set the framework for wage growth. But what happens when profitability in these industries is high, and the rest of the economy receives the same wage growth without showing the same profitability? In the long term, this may affect economic growth by artificially stimulating less productive industries. Is it then better to discontinue the model?

Themes
