Abstract

Este artículo analiza los efectos de la apertura comercial sobre el mercado de trabajo mexicano. Para ello, se estima la elasticidad de la demanda de trabajo respecto al salario para el sector manufacturero entre 1987 y 2011. El modelo se basó en una ecuación de demanda de trabajo, con una variable adicional como indicador de la apertura comercial, estimada por el método de Arellano-Bover/Blundell-Bond para un sistema dinámico de panel de datos. Los resultados indican que la elasticidad se incrementó con el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte, lo que tiene importantes implicaciones sobre el mercado de trabajo. ***** This article analyzes the effects of trade openness on the Mexican labor market. For this, we estimate the labor demand elasticity relative to the wage for the manufacturing sector over the period 1987-2011. The model was based on an equation of labor demand and included a variable as an indicator of the degree of trade openness. As for the estimation method, we used the Arellano-Bover/Blundell-Bond linear dynamic panel-data estimation system. The results indicate that the elasticity increased with the North American Free Trade Agreement, which has important implications on the labor market
