Resumen

Tras el final de la Edad de Oro, la economía estadounidense ha sufrido una aceleración del proceso de desindustrialización que ha coincidido en el tiempo con una ralentización en el crecimiento de su productividad del trabajo. En este trabajo se analiza el vínculo existente entre ambos fenómenos conforme a un marco de causación acumulativa. Nuestros resultados muestran que la aceleración del proceso de desindustrialización se vincula con un incremento exógeno de la productividad en el sector manufacturero y con el impacto negativo sobre la producción manufacturera derivado del despegue de la penetración importadora en el sector. De esta manera, la aceleración del proceso de desindustrialización habría contribuido a mitigar la ralentización en el crecimiento de la productividad agregada.
