With respect to exports by destination, exports to Brazil appear to have a positive but lagged effect on the changes in manufacturing employment. However, this effect disappears when control variables are included, suggesting that it is also not particularly significant. Exports to the PRC seem to also have a positive effect but small; it coefficient is not significant for any of the regressions or lags. Exports to the US did not have any effect on manufacturing employment, as the coefficient is also not statistically significant in any cases.
