The Impact of Export Destination on Skills in a Middle-Income Country

Global Journal of Emerging Market Economies, 2021, vol. 13, issue 3, 317-340

Abstract: This study analyzes the relationship among exports to high-income countries on the demand for skilled labor. To this aim, we use a panel of Uruguayan manufacturing firms for the period 1997–2006. The results show that, contrary to studies for developed and other middle-income economies, exports to high-income countries do not result in a higher demand for skilled labor. The explanation for these results may lie in the productive specialization of the country.
