Abstract

This paper proposes a new methodology to measure the profitability of manufacturing export industry. The proposed index is derived from the firm’s micro-economic problem and incorporates information from the new System of National Accounts. This new tool allows the analysis of determinants of profitability at both micro and macro level. The overall index is the weighted average of the profitability index of 24 manufacturing branches representing 90% of the total industrial exports. The results show that profitability during the first quarter of 2011 was 1% above the average of the past 18 years and more than 20% above the present level of the real effective exchange rate
