Abstract

LUENGO, Fernando. Equipment goods industry in the Spanish economy: commercial insertion and structural change. Prob. Des [online]. 2011, vol.42, n.167, pp.123-145. ISSN 0301-7036.

The study examines foreign trade for the equipment goods industry in the Spanish economy at a community level. The analysis is based on the movement of a combination of indicators that reveal the quality of trade insertion: the technological level and the position of the range. The principal conclusion is that, even accepting the diversity of positions and trajectories observed in the industry, it seems to occupy a relatively subordinate space, installed in market segments of medium-to-low technology and range.

Keywords : industry; equipment goods; competitiveness; trade insertion; structural change; Spanish economy.
