Resumo: This paper examines the effects of trade policies on the adoption of new technologies. A two-sector model with international-trade is developed where technological progress is neutral. A group of interest (suppliers of skilled labor), acting in coalition, decide which technology will be available for firms. The key findings are the following. With free trade, or a tariff, the best technology is always used; Under a quota, generally the best technology is not used. In other words, with respect to adoption of new technologies we have equivalence between free trade and tariffs. A quota generates resistance to new technologies while with free trade or tariffs this resistance is eliminated.

Um modelo de dois setores com comércio internacional é desenvolvido onde o progresso tecnológico é neutro. Um grupo de interesse (fornecedores de mão de obra qualificada), em coalizão, decide quais tecnologias estarão disponíveis para as empresas. Os resultados mais importantes são os seguintes: (i) Com livre comércio ou política tarifária, a melhor tecnologia é sempre usada; (ii) Com cota, normalmente a melhor tecnologia não é usada. Em outras palavras, no que diz respeito à adoção de novas tecnologias, temos uma equivalência entre livre comércio e tarifas. A cota, por outro lado, gera resistência a novas tecnologias, enquanto no sistema de livre comércio ou tarifário esta resistência é eliminada.FUCAPE Business Shool2007-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/41010.15728/bbr.2007.4.3.3Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 4 No. 3 (2007): September to December 2007; 195-217Brazilian Business Review; v. 4 n. 3 (2007): Setembro a Dezembro de 2007; 195-2171808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
