Trade and labor markets : evidence from the Colombian trade liberalization process

The objective of this paper is to measure the impact of trade on the sectoral labor markets. Using the Colombian National Household Survey and comparable trade-related data, we study how changes in trade policy affect the sectoral demands for labor, as measured by the change in wages and employment....

Using the Colombian National Household Survey and comparable trade-related data, we study how changes in trade policy affect the sectoral demands for labor, as measured by the change in wages and employment. We develop a structural model and estimate its reduced form specification to determine an elasticity between measures of sectoral tariffs and labor demand, correcting for tariff endogeneity. The data used covers the period of 1984 through 1999. This allows us to take advantage of the natural experiment represented by the Colombian trade liberalization process of the early nineties. The results suggest that sector tariff levels over the period are positively correlated with their employment levels, but only for tradable sectors. In the case of wages, there is no evidence that they were affected by the trade reform.El objetivo de este trabajo es medir el impacto del comercio internacional en el Mercado laboral sectorial. Utilizamos la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares e información de comercio comparable para estudiar como cambios en la política comercial incide en los niveles salariales y de empleo. Para este fin desarrollamos un modelo estructural de la economía y estimamos su forma reducida para determinar la elasticidad entre aranceles sectoriales y demanda laboral, teniendo en cuenta la endogeneidad de los aranceles. La información utilizada cubre el período que va de 1984 a 1999. Esto nos permite explotar la apertura comercial colombiana de principios de los noventa como un experimento natural. Los resultados sugieren que los aranceles sectoriales están positivamente correlacionados con el nivel de empleo, pero sólo en los sectores transables. No encontramos evidencia de efectos sobre salarios ni sobre sectores no transables.32 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 28 Agosto de 2006https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/003651.htmlTrade and labor markets : evidence from the Colombian trade liberalization processComercio y mercado laboral : evidencia del proceso de apertura comercial colombianoDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPLabor marketsTrade liberalizationDevelopmentTrade policyColombiaComercio exterior y empleo - Modelos econométricosMercado laboral - ColombiaApertura económica - ColombiaComercio internacional - ColombiaF13, F14, F16, J08, J38Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2006-28.pdfdcede2006-28.pdfapplication/pdf620977https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/b85ec6b3-42fc-43aa-a861-db72e717b193/download00484097e75f8faa377045e3b8cb0a4fMD51TEXTdcede2006-28.pdf.txtdcede2006-28.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain63211https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/20f8e722-2384-4672-96b9-106073895fdf/download5d6472c914b845f9bb799000f94f312eMD54THUMBNAILdcede2006-28.pdf.jpgdcede2006-28.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg16986https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/4f6021c9-f07c-4d0b-a2a2-d37db04d2e3b/downloadac137098608f3053585483845df3e762MD551992/8006oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/80062024-06-04 15:33:04.645http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
