This working paper offers an evaluation of the performance of ports of Antofagasta, an analysis of the impact of the ports on their territory and an assessment of policies in this field. It examines port performance over the last decades and identifies the principal factors that have contributed to it. The effect of the port on economic and environmental questions is studied and quantified where possible. The major policies governing the ports are assessed, along with policies governing transport and economic development, the environment and spatial planning. Based on the report's findings, recommendations are proposed with a view to improving port performance and increasing the positive effects of the ports of Antofagasta. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the role of countries' overall skills endowment on their trade comparative advantage. It tests the theoretical model of Ohnsorge and Trefler (2007) who argue that it is the bundling of various skills at the worker level and their joint distribution that matter for industry and trade specialisation. This departs from the literature assuming that workers are endowed with only one type of skills, which are generally measured by educational attainment. To test the predictions of the model, this paper uses information on cognitive skills assessed within the OECD Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) and data from the OECD-WTO Trade in Value Added (TiVA) database. Results show that workers' skills bundles and their distribution have a larger effect on specialisation than countries' endowment of capital per employee or the relative endowment of workers possessing different levels of education. Furthermore, this study tests the model of Bombardini et al. (2012) for a large cross-section of countries and finds evidence that the within-country dispersion of skills significantly affects specialisation patterns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
