Dicha hipótesis se examina en un panel de datos de 17 países de América Latina y el Caribe para el periodo de 1971 a 2013. La principal metodología que se utiliza es la prueba de causalidad de Granger. El análisis se realizó para las exportaciones totales y las de productos de alta tecnología. Se encontró una relación de retroalimentación entre el PIB real y las exportaciones totales, por lo que no existe evidencia para la hipótesis mencionada. Sin embargo, los resultados evidencian una relación unidireccional débil de las exportaciones de alta tecnología a la producción agregada real.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This article analyzes the relationship between exports and economic growth in a panel of 17 Latin America and Caribbean countries. The time dimension of the database is 1971 to 2013. The Granger causality test was the principal methodology used in this paper. The analysis was done for total and high-technology exports. The results of causality tests suggest that there is a feedback relationship between total exports and real GDP. However, it was found slight evidence that high technology exports Granger-cause economic growth.]]></p></abstract>
