Abstract

En este documento se estudia la relación de la productividad con la apertura comercial en el Perú haciendo uso de un modelo pseudo experimental. Se considera dos indicadores de productividad medidos a nivel de firmas formales: la productividad laboral y la productividad total de factores. Se encuentra que las firmas que participan del comercio internacional ya sea como exportadores y/o importadores tienen sistemáticamente una mayor productividad en comparación con las que destinan su producción solo al mercado interno. Los tratados de libre comercio, en promedio, generan una brecha de productividad positiva, siendo las empresas que destinan sus ventas hacia Estados Unidos de Norte América las que tienen mayores brechas. Estos resultados son robustos a controles por heterogeneidad observable y por sesgo de selección por muerte y/o rotación de empresas.
