Productividad y posicionamiento estructural en la industria de bienes de equipo española
Keywords:
industrial structure, productivity, capital goods, structural change, competitivenessAbstract
This paper analyses the structural position of the Spanish capital goods industry in order to tackle some of the structural factors that determine the productivity gap between this industry and that of our main competitors in the EU. We focus on a set of indicators that reveal strengths and weaknesses of its commercial insertion from three perspectives: at the technological level, from a quality point of view and regarding export sophistication. The evolution of these indicators shows a structural lag of this industry, even taking into account the existing productive diversity.
