Abstract

Este artículo analiza el valor agregado bruto cantonal de Ecuador desde el enfoque de la economía de aglomeración, sustentado en las teorías de Krugman (1998), Frost (2017) y Boussauw et al. (2018). La investigación, de carácter descriptivo y analítico, limita a cuatro clústeres sus unidades de análisis. Los resultados constatan la presencia de economías de aglomeración en los cantones de Quito y Guayaquil, lo cual se traduce en desigualdades territoriales y externalidades negativas, que generan deseconomías de escalas. La competencia en los mercados, como expresan Myrdal (1957/1962) y Krugman (1992) a la generación de disparidades interregionales entre estos distritos y sus regiones vecinas. ****** This paper analyses the cantonal gross value added of Ecuador from the agglomeration economy approach, based on theories: Krugman (1998), Frost (2017) and Boussauw et al. (2018). The research, of descriptive and analytical character, delimits in 4 clusters the units of analysis. The results confirm the presence of agglomeration economies in the Quito and Guayaquil cantons, resulting in territorial inequalities and negative externalities, which generate diseconomies of scales. Market competition, as Myrdal (1957/1962) and Krugman (1992) express, results in the generation of interregional disparities between these districts and their neighbouring regions. ****** Este artigo analisa o valor acrescentado bruto cantonal do Equador a partir do enfoque da economia de aglomeracao, com base nas teorias de Krugman (1998), Frost (2017) e Boussauw et al.
