Resumo

Colômbia experimentou uma significativa mudança estrutural no começo dos anos noventa. Esta mudança estrutural está relacionada com as grandes reformas do comércio e do mercado de trabalho empreendidas no ano de 1992, ano este considerado como a da mudança. Este trabalho centra-se em avaliar se a transformação estrutural na exposição ao comércio internacional afetou significativamente a resposta do emprego face as alterações salariais na indústria manufatureira. É utilizado o marco de Hamermesh (1993) para explicar o efeito geral sobre o emprego, que é composto dos efeitos da substituição e de escala. Este efeito geral quantifica-se empiricamente e se desentranham seus dois componentes. Encontramos que a elasticidade do trabalho de uma mudança salarial passou de -1.05 em 1974 a -1.56 em 1992-2015. Pelos componentes, o efeito de substituição aumentou de -0.68 a -1.19, e o efeito de escala se manteve estável em -0.38. Estes resultados sugerem que a liberalização do comércio tem tido consequências negativas no bem estar dos trabalhadores. Uma maior sensibilidade na procura de mão de obra tem sido associada a uma maior carga tributária dos trabalhadores e uma maior instabilidade dos resultados do mercado laboral (Rodrik, 1997). Por conseguinte, os aumentos da imposição sobre as folhas de pagamento experimentados durante os anos noventa podem ter provocado a diminuição dos postos de trabalho e um aumento tributário dos trabalhadores, enquanto que os processos de substituição de capital pelo trabalho podem ter sido acelerado devido a maior sensibilidade do emprego.
