Abstract
El presente trabajo realizará un análisis comparativo del sector de bienes de equipo de España y Alemania, con el objeto de desentrañar los determinantes de la competitividad de esta industria. La hipótesis central es la siguiente: la industria de bienes de equipo de Alemania es más competitiva debido a su mayor productividad real y sus menores costes relativos. De este modo, se partirá de la teoría clásica y marxiana de la formación de los precios, y el modelo de las ventajas absolutas de Anwar Shaikh. Para nuestro propósito, se calcularán los índices de tipo de cambio, los índices de costes laborales unitarios reales y la balanza comercial bilateral de los bienes de equipo.
This paper makes a comparative analysis of the capital goods industry in Spain and Germany, in order to explain the determinants of competitiveness in this industry. The main hypothesis is: the German capital goods industry is more competitive as result of its higher productivity and its lower relative costs. Thus, we will start from the classical and Marxian theory of price formation, and the model of the absolute advantages of Anwar Shaikh. For our purposes, we will calculate the exchange rates, the rates of real unit labor costs and the bilateral trade balance of goods.
