Abstract

Este trabajo pretende señalar los principales rasgos que la rama de servicios presenta en la economía española. Para ello, se compara el comportamiento de una serie de variables económicas -valor añadido, empleo, productividad, deflactores y costes laborales unitarios-, desde tres perspectivas: temporal, geográfica -entre España, la UE y EEUU-; y sectorial -entre las distintas ramas que componen los servicios-. El período de análisis abarca desde 1980 hasta 1997 y los datos utilizados provienen de la Contabilidad Nacional, según la metodología del SEC-79, y se han obtenido de Eurostat. Del análisis realizado se desprende que la rama de servicios en España presenta las regularidades empíricas generalmente observadas en las economías avanzadas: una mayor inflación, un menor crecimiento de la productividad, una mayor generación de empleo y, en los servicios no destinados a la venta, un comportamiento cíclico más suave que el del conjunto de la economía. También se concluye que la evolución del conjunto de la rama de servicios en España ha seguido pautas comunes a las de las principales economías de su entorno. Las diferencias observadas son, con la excepción del carácter anticíclico de la productividad, mas de grado que de tendencia: en España la productividad ha tenido un crecimiento menor en la mayor parte de las ramas de servicios, la generación de empleo ha sido mayor y los precios han experimentado una evolución más desfavorable que en el conjunto de la UE.
