Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo desta dissertação consiste sobretudo em estabelecer as conexões entre o recente aumento no uso relativo de trabalhadores qualificados (em comparação aos não qualificados) e medidas de tecnologia, capital físico e tarifas, com especial enfoque para a manufatura brasileira nas últimas duas décadas. Para tanto, faz-se uso da metodologia de Berman, Bound & Griliches (1994), tendo a intensidade de P&D como proxy para progresso técnico. A evidência de complementaridade entre tecnologia e trabalho qualificado aparece mais robusta e fortemente entre 1994 e 1997, enquanto que o capital físico mostrou-se bastante correlacionado com o emprego de qualificados em todo o período considerado (1989-97). Já os impactos do comércio internacional mostraram-se limitados e pouco robustos.

Abstract in English
The main goal of this dissertation is to investigate the relationship between skill upgrading and measures of technology, physical capital and tariffs, with emphasis on Brazilian manufacturing for the last two decades. We use Berman, Bound & Griliches’s (1994) methodology, with R&D intensity as a proxy for technological change. We found robust evidence of technology-skill complementarity for 1994-97, and positive correlation between physical capital and use of skilled labor for 1989-97. The impacts of international trade were weaker and less robust.
