Abstract: La presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar los factores que explican la mejor posición competitiva de los sectores manufactureros alemanes en relación con los españoles durante el período 1995-2015. Con base en la teoría de la ventaja absoluta de coste de Shaikh, se contrasta la hipótesis de que, para dicho lapso, los términos reales de intercambio entre los sectores manufactureros de España y de Alemania se encuentran regulados por los niveles relativos de sus costes laborales unitarios reales. A este fin, se construye un modelo dinámico de datos de panel conformado por los once sectores manufactureros de la base EU KLEMS 2017, el cual revela que entre las tres variables existe una relación estable en el largo plazo.

The main goal of this paper is to identify explanatory factors on the competitive position of manufacturing sectors from Germany and Spain during 1995-2015. Based on Shaikh´s theory of absolute cost advantage, we try to test the hypothesis that the real terms of exchange are regulated by real unit labor costs. In order to do so, we elaborate a dynamic data model through EU KLEMS 2017 database, which reveals that there is a stable long-term relationship between the three variables.

Keywords: Competitiveness of the German and Spanish manufacturing sectors; 1995-2015: an analysis of absolute cost advantage using dynamic panel data. Real terms of trade; absolute cost advantage; unit labour cost; cointegration. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
