Uma análise da competitividade de países em desenvolvimento a partir do valor adicionado estrangeiro nas exportações industriais: o uso de índices de vantagens comparativas reveladas para o período 1995 a 2018

Abstract

ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to contribute to the improvement of a more comprehensive approach to international competitiveness, from the attempt to construct a revealed comparative advantages index that considers not only the participation of economies in the world market from the perspective of exports, but also the importance of value-added of exports and, in a broader sense, decentralization of world production, for the construction and maintenance of oligopolistic positions of industries and countries. For this, we used data from the TiVA database, in the period between 1995 and 2018, focusing on two groups of developing countries: BRICS and ASEAN.
