Abstract: The objective of this article is to contribute to the improvement of a morecomprehensive approach to international competitiveness, from the attempt to constructa revealed comparative advantages index that considers not only the participation ofeconomies in the world market from the perspective of exports, but also the importance ofvalue-added of exports and, in a broader sense, decentralization of world production, for theconstruction and maintenance of oligopolistic positions of industries and countries. For this, we used data from the TiVA database, in the period between 1995 and 2018, focusing ontwo groups of developing countries: BRICS and ASEAN. JEL Classification: L10; L22; O12.
