Resumo: The objective of this paper is to verify if human capital is an important determinant of structural change in different sectors of the economy and if it can accelerate the speed of this structural transformation. This paper contributes to the literature by developing an empirical test of the model proposed by Li et al. (2019) and by using the GMM methodology. It also uses two proxies for human capital (average years of schooling and the Penn World Table index) and structural change (employment and added value share) in order to verify whether or not they affect the variable of interest. Results showed that human capital has an essential role in the structural transformation process of the economy, since it has an effect on the relative participation of the sectors on total added value or on total employment. Also, human capital proved to be a potential accelerator of this structural transformation.

Este artigo contribui com a literatura ao desenvolver um teste empírico do modelo proposto por Li et al. (2019) e ao utilizar a metodologia GMM. O artigo também utiliza duas proxies para capital humano (anos médios de escolaridade e o índice Penn World Table) e mudança estrutural (participação do emprego e do valor adicionado), a fim de verificar se elas afetam ou não a variável de interesse. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que o capital humano tem um papel essencial no processo de transformação estrutural da economia, uma vez que afeta a participação relativa dos setores no valor agregado total ou no emprego total. Além disso, o capital humano provou-se ser um potencial acelerador dessa transformação estrutural.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-10-30info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/727410.1590/0103-6351/7791enghttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/7274/13665Copyright (c) 2023 Michele Aparecida Nepomuceno Pinto, Edinaldo Tebaldi, Marina Silva da Cunhahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPinto, Michele Aparecida NepomucenoTebaldi, EdinaldoCunha, Marina Silva dareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-10-30T14:55:20Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/7274Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-10-30T14:55:20SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false
