| Summary: | Despite recent efforts toward collecting
evidence of vertical specialization for developed economies,
scarce work has been dedicated to developing economies and
to Argentina, in particular. The key contribution of this
paper is to provide comparable estimates of vertical
specialization as reflected in the imported content of
exports in Argentina. Drawing on the 1997 input-output
matrix for Argentina, the authors estimate that the imported
content of the country s exports is about 14.5 percent of
total exports, lower than for other emerging economies. They
also provide estimates of imported content for more
disaggregated product categories. |
