Abstract

En este documento se estima un modelo din�mico de la demanda laboral industrial en Colombia con base en datos de panel a nivel de establecimiento para el periodo 1977-1999. Los resultados muestran cambios importantes en la funci�n de demanda de trabajo asociados con el per�odo de apertura econ�mica. En particular, se encuentra que las firmas han aumentado su velocidad de ajuste, y que el proceso de apertura econ�mica de los 90 aument� la elasticidad de sustituci�n factorial. No obstante, las firmas m�s j�venes son menos el�sticas al salario que las empresas m�s antiguas, en tanto las �ltimas presentan una velocidad de ajuste menor que las primeras frente a choques de largo plazo. Finalmente, hay evidencia significativa de un proceso t�cnico ahorrador de trabajo en la firma manufacturera el cual empieza temprano en la d�cada de los 80 pero se profundiza durante la d�cada de los 90. Dada la mayor flexibilidad del establecimiento industrial para ajustar su nomina es posible que los trabajadores enfrenten un mayor grado de incertidumbre en sus condiciones laborales frente a choques de precios relativos o fluctuaciones de la actividad econ�mica.
