Abstract
El objetivo del trabajo es analizar el nivel y evolución de la intensidad tecnológica
de los flujos comerciales bilaterales entre España y sus principales
socios europeos (UE-15) durante el período 2000-2012. El estudio parte de
la existencia de diferentes intensidades tecnológicas sectoriales que han sido
destacadas en la literatura sobre la especialización comercial y tecnológica.
Así mismo, se analiza la evolución de diferentes indicadores vinculados al comportamiento
innovador con el objeto de capturar la supuesta relación positiva
que existe entre el esfuerzo innovador y el desempeño tecnológico y comercial
de los países. Los resultados apuntan a la existencia de una relación positiva
entre el desempeño innovador y el comportamiento comercial de los países
analizados. Si bien este resultado se manifiesta para cada una de las diferentes
dimensiones de la innovación, se hace más evidente cuando la innovación se
considera globalmente a través de un índice sintético de innovación (perspectiva
sistémica). Por otro lado, se observa que esta relación es más intensa en
el caso de los flujos de mayor contenido tecnológico.
This paper aims at analyzing the level and evolution of the technological intensity of bilateral trade flows between Spain and its main European partners (EU-15) for the period 2000-2012. This study focuses on the existence of different sectoral technological intensities, which have been highlighted by the literature on trade and technological specialization. The paper also analyzes the evolution of different indicators related to innovative behaviour in order to catch the hypothetical positive relationship among the innovation effort and the technology and trading performance of countries. Results show the existence of a positive relationship between the innovative features of countries and their bilateral trade. While this result is observed for each dimension of innovation, it becomes more evident when the innovation is considered overall through a synthetic index of innovation (systemic approach). Moreover, data show that this relationship is stronger in the case of flows with higher technological content.
