Abstract

In this work, a continuation of previous advances, we reconstruct the foreign trade matrix of the Argentine automotive sector between 2002 and 2020, with the objective of identifying the most competitive sections in terms of exports and those with the least capacity, expressed in larger trade deficits. From this approach, we seek to explain the link between the configuration of the trade balance with competitiveness by sector. We carried out a quantitative task, systematizing the statistics collected from the Sistema de Consulta del Comercio Exterior (INDEC). We rely on additional data available in other databases (UNCOMTRADE); in addition to information provided by other researchers, chambers or international federations. With this, we detect subsectors with a comercial deficit or surplus, and evaluate the place of the main origins and destinations. We seek to provide elements to determine the evolution of foreign trade activity during this century, evaluating changes and continuities.
