摘要：

This paper examines the wage-skill premium in Vietnamese manufacturing since the reform programme. The effects of tariff reductions on the wage-skill premium are analyzed in the presence of exporting opportunities, foreign investment, and research and development. The findings with firm-level data reveal that a 10-percentage point fall in output tariffs is associated with a 4 percent increase in the wage-skill premium. The wage-skill premium in foreign-invested enterprises is 40 percent higher than that of domestic enterprises. Trade liberalization influences the wage-skill premium in the presence of foreign ownership and R&D, while its impact on the skill premium only works through exporting.
