Resumo: It is well known that economic structure is linked to human capital, private investment in technology and income growth. Even though disentangling how this relationship happens is crucial for policy screening, this still needs a better understanding. We shed light on this debate by analyzing economic structure in two investigations. The first investigation is on the effect of human capital on economic structure. I exploit a significant expansion in the Brazilian federal network of technological and professional education since 2002 as an instrument for human capital. Data are on human capital for Brazilian micro-regions from 2003 to 2015. Results indicated that higher levels of economic structure are associated with a larger stock of human capital. The second investigation studies the effect of private investment in technology on economic struc- ture. A federal law fostering private investment in research and development is used as an instrument for investment in technology. Data are on investment in technology for Brazilian municipalities from 2002 to 2016. Results showed the federal law was effective and private investment in technology has a positive and significant effect on economic structure. We concluded human capital and investment in technology should be promoted due to their effect on economic structure. Keywords: Economic structure. Human capital. Technological education. Investment in technology. Economic complexity.

Embora desvendar como essa relação acontece seja crucial para a triagem de políticas, isso ainda precisa de um melhor en- tendimento. Lança-se luz sobre esse debate analisando a estrutura econômica em duas investigações. A primeira investigação é sobre o efeito do capital humano na es- trutura econômica. Explora-se uma significativa expansão da rede federal brasileira de educação tecnológica e profissional desde 2002 como instrumento de capital humano. Os dados são de capital humano para as microrregiões brasileiras de 2003 a 2015. Os resultados indicaram que níveis mais elevados de estrutura econômica estão as- sociados a um maior estoque de capital humano. A segunda investigação estuda o efeito do investimento privado em tecnologia na estrutura econômica. Uma lei federal de fomento ao investimento privado em pesquisa e desenvolvimento é utilizada como instrumento para o investimento em tecnologia. Os dados são de investimento em tec- nologia para os municípios brasileiros de 2002 a 2016. Os resultados mostraram que a lei federal foi eficaz e o investimento privado em tecnologia tem um efeito positivo e significativo na estrutura econômica. A conclusão é de que o capital humano e o investimento em tecnologia devem ser promovidos devido ao seu efeito na estrutura econômica. Palavras-chave: Estrutura econômica. Capital humano.
