Elasticity of demand for labor in Uruguay

The objective of this research is to estimate the long-run elasticities of labour demand for Uruguay (1986-2005). The elasticities were estimated using Johansen cointegration analysis and the vector error correction model. We found that the aggregate labour demand is relatively inelastic with respec...

The elasticities were estimated using Johansen cointegration analysis and the vector error correction model. We found that the aggregate labour demand is relatively inelastic with respect to changes in labour cost and more elastic when the universe is bounded to private dependent work. It’s close to unity with respect to product and the response of labour demand to change in capital cost seems to be the same as the response to change in labour cost with opposite sign. Este estudio realiza estimaciones de la elasticidad de largo plazo de la demanda de trabajo en Uruguay (1986-2005). Se utilizó para ello el análisis de cointegración de Johansen y la modelización mediante mecanismo de corrección de error. Se encontró que la demanda de trabajo agregada es relativamente inelástica respecto al costo laboral y algo más elástica considerando sólo al trabajo dependiente privado. Es aproximadamente igual a la unidad respecto al producto en el sector privado y no se descarta que la elasticidad respecto al capital sea de igual magnitud pero de signo contrario que la del costo laboral   Instituto de Economía y Finanzas.
