Mining boom and deindustrialization in Latin America ; Auge minero y desindustrialización en América Latina

Mining production has grown substantially in Latin America in the last decades.

Mining production has grown substantially in Latin America in the last decades. This boom has adversely affected the negatively the production and exports of manufacturing goods, suggesting the basis for the phenomena of the “Dutch Disease”. Úis study allows ratifying that incidence through a regression model with panel data and a graphical analysis using local polynomial regressions. Results show a trade off in production and exports between two important sectors, industry and mining. The negative relationship operates in countries where exports of mining goods exceed a certain threshold, wich is the moment at which economic institutions should set off the alarms and intervene on a more active way. This research has named “Intersectoral Substitution Curve” ISC to this phenomenon. ; La producción minera creció notablemente en américa latina en las Dos últimas décadas y el auge de sus exportaciones redujo la producción Y la exportación de bienes industriales, provocando la enfermedad Holandesa. Este estudio explora sus efectos empleando un modelo de Regresión con datos de panel y un análisis gráfico de regresiones locales Polinómicas. Los resultados indican que la minería desplaza a la Industria en aquellos países donde las exportaciones mineras superan Cierto umbral, el cual debe servir de alarma para que las autoridades Económicas intervengan en forma activa.
