This paper investigates the role of trade liberalization in explaining these relative earnings movements. We perform several independent empirical exercises that check the traditional trade transmission mechanism, using disaggregated data on tariffs, prices, earnings, employment and skill intensity. We find that: i) employment shifted from skilled to unskilled intensive sectors, and each sector increased its relative share of skilled labor; ii) relative prices fell in skill intensive sectors; iii) tariff changes across sectors were not related to skill intensities, but the pass-through from tariffs to prices was larger in skill intensive sectors; iv) the decline in skilled earnings differentials mandated by the price variation predicted by trade was even larger than the observed one. The results are compatible with trade liberalization accounting for the observed relative earnings changes in Brazil. They also highlight the importance of considering the effects of differentiated pass-through from tariffs to prices.engFundação Getulio VargasEnsaios Econômicos;585Skill earnings differentialsTrade liberalizationTariffs pass-throughStolper-SamuelsonEconomiaEconomiaSalários - Modelos econométricosTrade liberalization and the evolution of skill earnings differentials in Brazilinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlereponame:Repositório Institucional do FGV (FGV Repositório Digital)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessORIGINAL1816.pdfapplication/pdf342175https://repositorio.fgv.br/bitstreams/6c8d46e6-9434-49e1-b4d3-5db7c99b332d/download790abef0637986b2c8cc78a75714561bMD51TEXT1816.pdf.txt1816.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain77603https://repositorio.fgv.br/bitstreams/d67887a7-0646-4c32-968e-069412429d54/downloadc19256ca9d4809ca9df66a02b96f1e1eMD56THUMBNAIL1816.pdf.jpg1816.pdf.jpgGenerated Thumbnailimage/jpeg3320https://repositorio.fgv.br/bitstreams/6ec07f99-df03-40a2-8708-73bc15853115/downloada0ef0a85f374167f8d68c68ded70fe7fMD5710438/6392023-11-09 19:28:55.774open.accessoai:repositorio.fgv.br:10438/639https://repositorio.fgv.brRepositório InstitucionalPRIhttp://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/dspace-oai/requestopendoar:39742023-11-09T19:28:55Repositório Institucional do FGV (FGV Repositório Digital) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
