I28-R145-2805_oai2026-02-09 Hallak, Juan Carlos 2023-10-17 Despite its abundance of natural resources, the possibility of Argentina achieving sustained economic growth largely depends on being able to diversify its export structure towards more differentiated goods with higher value added. However, the last 15 years have shown no progress in this direction. The country´s real exports (net of prices) are stagnant and persistently concentrated in a small number of commodities, while the number of exporters is one third lower than at its peak in 2006. This paper describes in detail this meager performance and analyzes its causes, among which the country´s persistent macroeconomic instability and highly restrictive trade policy stand out. Nevertheless, another cause of export stagnation is the lack of a decisive pro-export policy orientation, which would allow taking advantage of opportunities for international insertion based on product differentiation that exist in agriculture, industry, and knowledge intensive services. This paper thoroughly develops the content of such orientation, describing the policies that compose it and the need to coordinate their implementation under sectoral strategies for international insertion. A pesar de su abundancia de recursos naturales, la posibilidad de que Argentina logre un crecimiento económico sostenido depende en gran medida de que pueda diversificar su estructura de exportaciones hacia bienes con mayor diferenciación y valor agregado. Sin embargo, los últimos 15 años no han mostrado avances en esa dirección. Las exportaciones reales (netas de precios) del país están estancadas y se concentran persistentemente en un reducido número de commodities, mientras que el número de exportadores es un tercio menor al de su máximo en 2006. Este trabajo describe en detalle este magro desempeño y analiza sus causas, entre las que se destacan la persistente inestabilidad macroeconómica y una política comercial fuertemente restrictiva. De todas formas, también es causa del estancamiento exportador la falta de una decidida orientación pro-exportadora de políticas, que permita aprovechar las oportunidades de inserción internacional a partir de una mayor diferenciación de producto que existen en el agro, la industria y los servicios basados en conocimiento. El trabajo desarrolla en profundidad el contenido de dicha orientación, considerando las políticas que lo componen y la necesidad de coordinar su implementación application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2805 spa Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política (IIEP UBA-CONICET) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2805/3551 Documentos de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; Núm. 85 (2023): La necesidad de una orientación pro-exportadora de políticas en Argentina Working Papers series at Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; No. 85 (2023): The need for a pro-export orientation of policies in Argentina 2451-5728 Exportaciones argentinas orientación exportadora productos diferenciados política productiva Argentine exports export orientation differentiated products productive policy The need for a pro-export orientation of policies in argentina La necesidad de una orientación pro-exportadora de políticas en argentina info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=dociiep&d=2805_oai |
