Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) Los conglomerados industriales surgen en presencia de externalidades propias de actividades específicas y de las características locales, lo que también se conoce como `externalidades de Marshall`. El argumento habitual es que tales externalidades pueden justificar una política de protección a industrias incipientes, para permitir y alentar el surgimiento de conglomerados. En este trabajo se analiza ese argumento y se muestra que pueden surgir implicaciones de políticas distintas si se aplica un modelo de conglomerados más apegado a la realidad. En particular, en vez de distorsionar los precios para promover la formación de conglomerados en actividades `avanzadas` con grandes posibilidades de formación de conglomerados, convendría más bien que los países se concentraran en promover la formación de conglomerados en sectores ya existentes y que hayan demostrado los mayores niveles de ventaja comparativa. La sustitución de importaciones no es una forma adecuada de alcanzar ese objetivo.
