Fuentes de la ventaja comparativas y complejidad económica en Latinoamérica: Caso Colombia.

Abstract

Abstract: The current research focuses on analyzing the sources of Colombia's comparative advantage and economic complexity, examining the relationship between labor productivity, factor endowments, and international trade patterns. It utilizes a robust theoretical framework, including absolute and comparative advantage, international trade models (Ricardo and Hexser-Ohlin), and theories of economic complexity and endogenous development related to diversification. It also includes empirical evidence supporting the importance of these concepts in Colombia's economic growth and global market competitiveness. The analysis is designed to help understand how an economy's characteristics and production capacity affect its export performance, thereby identifying opportunities to strategically improve Colombia's position in global value chains. This research provides a conceptual and methodological foundation for future research seeking to diversify the trade and production of developing countries.
