Abstract

GORENSTEIN, Silvia; HERNANDEZ, Jorge  and  DE LA TORRE, Delia. SOY AND MINING: TWO TERRITORIAL READINGS IN RECENT ARGENTINA. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.47, pp.175-202. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v21n47a7.

This paper analyzes the recent dynamics of two types of specialization in natural resources-intensive activities: one, of an agricultural nature, refers to the soybean complex; and the other, to metal mining. With quantitative methods, a stylized reading was made about those features that influence regional labor markets and provincial public finances, in which localized productive chains, regulatory frameworks, and national public policies were explored .The results show productive reconfigurations that have not generated significant increases in local employment structures, although they have caused considerable qualitative alterations , while the territorial redistributive effect of taxation mechanisms has had different impacts in the cases considered.
