| Abstract | |
This paper examines the relationship between trade liberalization, technological changes, and the evolution of the demand for skill in Brazil during the period between 1990 and 2002. Using firm-level data, we test the hypothesis that technological shocks explain part of this rise. The results indicate that the reduction in input tariffs and other proxis for technological changes increased the relative demand for skilled workers. (AU) | |
