service sector firms have less exposure to international competition due to lower tradabilty
and a greater degree of regulation.
If we consider other differences in firm characteristics between
the manufacturing and
services sectors, we observe that manufacturing companies tend to be larger and older, while
workers in the services sector
tend to be more educated, with a higher share of
workers with
a college degree. This is consistent with the analysis of Zahler et al. (2014) for Chile, in
which firms in the service sector tend to be more skill-intensive while manufacturing firms
are larger.
