Abstract

El presente estudio analiza la hipótesis según la cual, las condiciones empresariales externas adversas a las que deben hacer frente las compañías en los países pobres de América Latina, podrían constituir una importante explicación de los generalmente bajos niveles de productividad de estos países. Sin embargo, resultados empíricos basados en una encuesta realizada a más de 1300 empresas en Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua, no confirma esta hipótesis. Comparadas con todas las variables bajo el control de las empresas, como lo son la intensidad del capital, el uso de la energía, y la calificación de los empleados, las condiciones económicas externas (inestabilidad macroeconómica y regulaciones laborales) ejercen muy poco impacto sobre la productividad.
