Ecuador's export pattern in dollarization: New findings?
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective is to identify the changes that the export pattern of Ecuador has experienced in dollarization. The analysis determines the shares of the groups of export products: primary versus industrialized, and petroleum versus nonpetroleum. New findings are also sought in the temporary triangles of foreign trade. Also, evaluate the Gini coefficient of exportable production. It is concluded that Ecuador has been immersed in a process of export diversification based mainly on primary non-oil production. It is presumed that it is possible to avoid the re-concentration of export production if the manufacturing industry is strengthened.
