Estructuras productivas y desarrollo: el caso de la economía chilena // Productive Structures and Development: The Case of the Chilean Economy

Esta investigacion se inicia con las siguientes interrogantes: ?existe consistencia entre la identificacion de desarrollo y la estructura economica que se posee?; ?existen parecidos entre economias identificadas con distintos niveles de desarrollo?; y ?existen economias no desarrolladas con la estructura de una que lo es? Para responder a ellas, se revisan las similitudes de tablas input-output obtenidas desde la OCDE (Mid90, Early00 y Mid00), para posteriormente tomar como caso de estudio a la economia chilena. Las similitudes y cambios se indagan, utilizando un indice de similitud estructural y, comparando sus encadenamientos, se establecen las relaciones que se forman en el proceso de desarrollo. Los resultados revelan que: los indicadores tradicionales son solo referentes y no categoricos en sus identificaciones de desarrollo; las economias muestran importantes parecidos segun su nivel de desarrollo; y existen similitudes estructurales entre economias desarrolladas y la chilena.------------------------------------This research begins with the following questions:  Is there consistency between the identification of development and the economic structure that is possessed?; are there similarities among economies identified with differences in their levels of development?; and, are there non-developed economies with the same structure as that of developed economies?  To answer these questions, similarities of input-output tables obtained from OECD (Mid90, Early00 and Mid00) are reviewed and then, a case study is performed on the Chilean economy. The similarities and changes are investigated by using a structural similarity index, and then by comparing correlations. The results show that: Traditional indicators can only be used as references and are non-categorical in their identification of development; the economies show significant similarities according to their level of development; and there exists significant structural similarities between developed economies and the economy of Chile.
