Decisiones en el comercio internacional: el caso cobre, 1988-2016

espanolLa presente investigacion busca cuantificar los efectos de diversas variables macroeconomicas en las transacciones bilaterales de ventas de cobre entre los socios comerciales. Para la evidencia empirica se emplea el Modelo de Gravitacion Comercial desarrollado por Krugman y Helpman (1985) y una base de datos de transacciones comerciales que comprende el periodo 1988-2016. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que la distancia entre paises afecta a las exportaciones de cobre, siendo su elasticidad con respecto a las exportaciones de cobre entre 0.597 y 0.602 para los valores en dolares de las exportaciones y entre 0.340 y 0.356 para la cantidad exportada.
