 Abstract: This paper quantitatively shows that the 1945 regional differences in the degree of development of manufacturing industry are explained by human capital accumulation prior to industrial development. Human capital accumulation was more intense in the regions with higher presence of non white free population – the “Free of all Colors” caste - at the end of the colonial times. Once the country began industrializing at the beginning of the twentieth century the former “Free of all Colors” regions were better prepared to adapt and to use the industrial technology and hence manufacturing industry rose with greater strength in those regions.
 Abstract: El documento muestra cuantitativamente que las diferencias regionales en el grado de desarrollo
de la industria manufacturera están explicadas por la acumulación de capital humano anterior
al desarrollo industrial. La acumulación del capital humano fue más intensa en las regiones con
mayor presencia de población libre no blanca –la casta de libres de todos los colores- al final
del periodo colonial. Una vez el país inicia el proceso de industrialización a principios del siglo
XX las antiguas regiones con mayor porcentaje de “libres de todos los colores” estuvieron mejor
preparadas para adaptar y usar la tecnología industrial y por lo tanto la industria manufacturera
surgió con mayor fortaleza en esos lugares.
