Abstract

Este artículo presenta resultados nuevos sobre los precios de los insumos pagados por las plantas manufactureras en Colombia, utilizando información de la Encuesta Anual Manufacturera (EAM). Los resultados son los siguientes: (1) Los importadores son más exitosos que los no importadores, en términos de tamano y productividad. (2) Los importadores pagan precios mayores que los no importadores, en promedio, dentro de cada categoría de insumo. (3) Los importadores pagan más por las variedades internacionales que por las variedades nacionales dentro de la misma categoría de insumo. (4) Los importadores pagan más que los no importadores por los insumos nacionales. (5) Dentro del conjunto de los importadores, hay una correlación positiva entre los precios nacionales y los precios internacionales que pagan por los insumos. Estos resultados sugieren que las plantas compran variedades de más alta calidad en el mercado internacional que en el mercado doméstico, dentro de cada categoría de insumo. ******* This paper presents new facts about the prices paid by Colombian manufacturing plants, using information from the Annual Manufacturing Survey [Encuesta Anual Manufacturera (EAM)]. The facts are the following: (1) Importers perform better than non-importers in terms of both size and productivity. (2) Importers pay higher input prices on average than non-importers, with each category of input. (3) Importers pay more for imported varieties than for domestic varieties, within the same input category. (4) Importers pay more on average than non-importers for domestic varieties of inputs, within the same input category. (5) Within the set of importers, there is a positive correlation between the prices that plants pay for international varieties and the prices they pay for domestic varieties, within the same input category. These facts suggest that plants purchase higher-quality varieties from the international market than from the domestic market, within each input category.
