Abstract

Export activity shapes workers' experience-wage profiles. Using employer-employee and customs data for Brazilian manufacturing, we document that workers' experience-wage profiles are steeper at exporters than at non-exporters and, among exporters, steeper at exporters shipping to high-income destinations. We develop and quantify a model featuring worker-firm wage bargaining, export-market entry by multi-worker firms, and human capital accumulation by workers to interpret the data. Human capital growth can explain one-half of the differences in wage profiles between exporters and non-exporters. We show that increased human capital per worker can account for one-half of the overall gains in real income from trade openness.
出口、工资概况和人力资本:来自巴西的证据
出口活动塑造了工人的经验-工资结构。利用巴西制造业的雇主-雇员和海关数据,我们发现出口商工人的经验-工资曲线比非出口商更陡峭,在出口商中,向高收入目的地运输的出口商更陡峭。我们开发并量化了一个以工人-企业工资谈判、多工人企业的出口市场进入和工人的人力资本积累为特征的模型来解释这些数据。人力资本增长可以解释出口国和非出口国之间工资结构差异的一半。我们的研究表明,人均人力资本的增加可以占贸易开放带来的实际收入总体增长的一半。
