Abstract

The target of this paper is to review some of the concepts most frequently used to measure economic diversity at regional level, exposing their base assumptions in order to illustrate an alternative approach developed from the financial literature on efficient portfolio selection. Regional real resources endowment are contemplate as implicit investments in productive sectors, giving shape to a regional portfolio with a level of global risk defined by its variance and returns characterised in terms of output, employment and other variables. The paper explores the possibilities offered by this method to analyse the trade-off between economic growth and stablility; finally it shows an application to the case of the regions of Catalonia and Valencia in Spain for the 1978-92 period. El objetivo de este trabajo es pasar revista a algunos de los conceptos más utilizados para medir la diversificación económica a escala regional, destacando los supuestos en que se basan, para a continuación ilustrar un método alternativo desarrollado a partir de la literatura financiera sobre la selección de carteras eficientes. Los recursos reales con que cuenta una región pasan a ser considerados inversiones implícitas en sus sectores productivos que conforman una cartera regional con un nivel de riesgo global definido por su varianza y rendimientos caracterizados en términos de empleo, producción u otras variables. El trabajo explora las posibilidades que este método ofrece para analizar el balance entre crecimiento y estabilidad económica de una determinada estructura productiva regional y finalmente ilustra su aplicación para el caso de Cataluña, la Comunidad Valenciana y Asturias en el período 1978-92.
