| description | In this study we discuss the need to develop sustainable export patterns in Latin America that fulfill two criteria: reduce the importance of activities that impose the greatest environmental impacts and increase the relevance of activities and products with a higher technological content, since these are the most dynamic in international markets, tend to be cleaner, and present positive spillovers to the rest of the economy. We propose a conceptual framework and analyze the export profiles of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, where the heterogeneity among Latin American countries is evident. We conclude that the development of sustainable export patterns will require decisive actions in the environmental and technological domains. |

En este estudio se discute la necesidad de desarrollar patrones exportadores sustentables en América Latina que cumplan dos criterios: la disminución la importancia de las actividades con los mayores impactos ambientales, y aumentan la relevancia de actividades y productos con mayor contenido tecnológico, ya que éstos son los más dinámicos en los mercados mundiales, tienden a ser más limpios, y presentan mayores derrames al resto de la economía. Se propone un marco conceptual y se analizan los perfiles exportadores de Argentina, Brasil, Chile y México, en donde queda de manifiesto la heterogeneidad existente entre los países de la región. Se concluye que la configuración de patrones exportadores sustentables requerirá de acciones decididas en los ámbitos ambiental y tecnológico. Instituto de Economía y Finanzas.
