Industrialisation and the factor content of Latin American exports of manufactures
研究了拉丁美洲制成品出口持续增长的来源,发现传统比较优势和政策诱导因素共同起作用,并以阿根廷、哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉为例说明国内开发的制成品出口增长显著,且要素含量差异反映资源禀赋和工业化政策的影响。
This article shows that Latin American exports of manufactures that grow consistently over time arise from both traditional as well as policy induced sources of comparative advantage. Case studies for Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela show that manufactures originally developed for the domestic market were exported with consistent growth rates and came to represent an important proportion of total manufacturing exports. The study also shows that inter‐country differences in the factor content of these exports reflect both differences in original resource endowments as well as the effects of industrialisation policy.
