Description
Summary:This paper analyses the Spanish manufacturing exports to the European Union. A panel data approach is used to test the hypothesis that there are differences among manufacturing branches exports in relation to their elasticity to short term variations in the real effective exchange rate index of the peseta. The main result is that exports of manufacturing branches controlled by local firms are more sensible to relative prices changes, but these branches have reduced their share on overall exports in the under consideration period. Furthermore, those manufacturing branches controlled by foreign-owned firms have revealed themselves less sensible to conjunctural variations in the real effective exchange rate index of the peseta, but have augmented their share in overall export value. En el presente trabajo, referido a los intercambios comerciales españoles de productos industriales con la Unión Europea, se propone un modelo de datos de panel para contrastar la hipótesis de la existencia de diferencias (entre las ramas industriales) en la sensibilidad de las exportaciones a variaciones en el corto plazo del tipo de cambio efectivo real (TCER) de la peseta. La conclusión principal del artículo es que las exportaciones de las ramas controladas por capital nacional son más sensibles a los cambios en precios relativos, pero han perdido importancia relativa en las exportaciones industriales. Mientras que aquellas ramas controladas por capital extranjero, insensibles a las variaciones coyunturales del TCER, han visto aumentar de manera continua su cuota de participación en las exportaciones.
