Resumen

VAZQUEZ-LOPEZ, Raúl. Labour productivity and external competitiveness in the Mexican manufacturing sector after trade liberalization, 1996-2007. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2021, vol.40, n.82, pp.137-164.  Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 0121-4772.  https://doi.org/10.15446/cuad.econ.v40n82.80510.

This paper has two objectives, to determine if there was a significant relationship between the evolution of labour productivity and the external competitiveness in 88 Mexican manufacturing activities, and to characterize the exhibited competitiveness in a key period of structural transformation. By calculating several indicators, we find evidence of a spurious competitiveness, increasing exports, not associated with improvements in labour productivity, and concentrated in a reduced number of activities. Finally, the CAN methodology shows the absence of dynamism in the sector's competitiveness, since the gains in the international market shares occur in products whose participation in world trade decreases.
