Y si amanece por fin...
A pesar de los pronósticos agoreros que subestiman el desarrollo exportador de los últimos años, parece que finalmente estamos doblando la cuesta:
Exportaciones: recién ahora aumentan por "cantidades"
Un dato llamó la atención (para bien) entre los analistas que siguen la macroeconomía en los últimos días: el aumento de las exportaciones argentinas comenzó a explicarse por "cantidades", y no principalmente por "precios", como ocurría hasta ahora. El debate gira en torno a si esta tendencia, que se detectó a fines de 2007 y se vio en forma muy notoria en enero, seguirá o si se trató de un hecho aislado.
No hay que menospreciar el efecto aprendizaje de este proceso y el rol que juega la experiencia de los exportadores, como puede verse en el interesante informe Supporting the Internationalisation of SMEs:
This international orientation is a consequence of the professional experience of the owner/manager and the industry/sector to which the SME belong. In both cases again the level of international exposure plays a key role. This central role of the entrepreneur and his personal networks is even more important in the case of “born globals”.
As we can see from the previous paragraph, exposure to internationalisation, either because the sector is particularly exposed or because of the personal and professional experience of the owner/manager, are the main drivers to internationalisation. This somehow makes internationalisation a “closed loop” where previous experience is the best guarantee to “future appetite”: internationalisation breeds internationalisation.
Ergo, a mirar el vaso medio lleno que quizás estamos aprendiendo mientras caminamos (¿cuál es la traducción de learning by doing?).

¿De qué hablamos cuándo hablamos de libre comercio?
(... la mejor intervención)
It is easy to be pro free trade, living in Los Angeles as I do, where incomes are driven upward by the ever expanding, high-value-added exports of the entertainment businesses. A never-ending California gold rush creates new riches from every hit record, tv show or movie; and steady returns from every new distribution media or channel.
It is a little tougher to be pro-free trade in Flint, Michigan.
There's a desperate need for a concrete vision of what can drive up income in vast swaths of the rustbelt, as well as much of red-state America. People want to take collective action to get something started, and "the market" is not providing investment in manufacturing or anything else, which could conceivably drive up wages and productivity in those areas of the country.As a sop to that need, trade protection is a pretty thin broth. I don't think people are particularly eager to buy it. But, they are in need of something, some vision of a way forward.
(y acá un enfoque interesante y claramente proteccionista)
The notion that the U.S. will magically recover has not been proven, as the trade deficits continue almost unabated.
Globally competitive services are also taking some hits. And the notion that services will serve as a complete offset to production losses hasn't worked out.
I am not saying that all is lost, but the hits are large. The skill losses are serious and many take years to rebuild if ever rebuilt.

Trade & Growth
Through multivariate fixed effects estimations we calculate that annual per capita GDP growth rates increased by up to 2.6 percentage points after the trade reforms, compared to a counterfactual that takes into consideration the evolution of several growth determinants. Moreover, trade liberalization has been followed by an acceleration in investment, exports of goods and services, and manufacturing exports, and as opposed to common belief, outward orientation did not lead to significant deindustrialization and actually seems to have increased export diversification.

El doble discurso en el comercio internacional
Fortunately for the region, the United States has negotiated free trade agreements, without major conditions with Mexico, Chile, Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. These agreements promise to strengthen the economies of those countries and improve the quality of life of millions of Latin Americans by increasing the flow of trade and investment.Aún viniendo del Cato Institute sorprende tanta hipocresía. Los subsidios agrícolas en EEUU no sólo impiden en los hechos el ingreso de los productos agrícolas de extramuros al mercado más grande del mundo sino que además, y mucho más grave, deprimen los precios globales gracias a la exportación de esos granos subsidiados.
