Abstract

L’objectif de cet article est de déterminer les effets de la diffusion des innovations technologiques sur la demande de la main d'oeuvre qualifiée pour le cas d’un pays en développement (en l’occurrence la Tunisie). Cette étude présente trois originalités. La première tient à la prise en compte des coûts d'ajustement. La deuxième originalité tient à la mesure de l’innovation. La troisième originalité tient à la nature de données utilisées. L'étude économétrique montre l'existence d'un biais technologique, qui favorise la demande des cadres -supposés la main-d'oeuvre la plus qualifiée-par les industries. A cet effet s'ajoute un second effet favorable à la main d'oeuvre qualifiée: cette dernière est plus fortement complémentaire au capital que les ouvriers, qui sont supposés la main-d'oeuvre non qualifiée.
