Abstract

Este trabajo utiliza un panel de firmas de la industria Colombiana para analizar las principales variables que inciden en la dinámica de la demanda laboral en los periodos 1993-2009 y 2000-2009. Se estiman funciones de demanda dinámicas a través de metodologías estándar y mediante modelos Panel VAR, y se encuentra: (i) una fuerte persistencia en el empleo, particularmente del no obrero, (ii) una alta sensibilidad por parte de la demanda de empleo ante un choque sobre la producción de la firma, en especial para el empleo no obrero, (iii) la respuesta del empleo obrero a su salario es significativamente mayor a la encontrada para el empleo no obrero, y (iv) el salario directo genera choques negativos sobre el empleo, aunque con mayor fuerza en el empleo obrero.
