Abstract

Esta investigación presenta una metodología para la construcción de un índice compuesto para medir la competitividad como factor de crecimiento económico para Colombia, a partir de los modelos de competitividad de Michel Porter y el trabajo de Cho y Moon. Los índices actuales presentan falencias en la construcción, desde la parte teórica o desde el manejo estadístico. Es por esto que se implementó el análisis factorial, herramienta estadística que permite una construcción objetiva evitando la inserción de subjetividades en la ponderación y agregación de variables. También, la utilización de datos duros provee a la investigación de mayor confiabilidad. Por medio de esta construcción se evidenciaron los esfuerzos que realiza el país para mejorar la competitividad apoyada por la estabilidad macroeconómica, sin embargo rezagada por la seguridad y salud pertenecientes a la institucionalidad. Los resultados concuerdan con las recomendaciones de los estudios económicos que hace la Organización para la Cooperación y Desarrollo Económico para Colombia. ****** This research presents a methodology for the construction of a composite index to measure competitiveness as a factor for economic growth in Colombia, from competitiveness models by Michel Porter and the work of Cho and Moon. Current rates have shortcomings in construction, from the theory or the statistical management. That is why a factor analysis was developed, a statistical tool that allows an objective construction, avoiding mistakes from including subjectivity in the weighting and aggregation of variables. Also, the use of hard data provides greater reliability to the research. Thanks to this construction the efforts of the country to improve competitiveness supported by macroeconomic stability were evident, nevertheless; lagging behind due to the safety and health belonging to the institutions. The results are consistent with the recommendations of the economic studies presented by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development - Colombia.
