Resumen

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es (a) explicar el crecimiento del comercio intraindustrial (CII) vertical y horizontal de los Estados Unidos con sus socios del NAFTA y (b) identificar los determinantes específicos que explican el comercio intraindsutrial vertical y horizontal.

Una de las principales contribuciones es que el incremento del comercio intraindustrial entre los Estados Unidos y el resto del NAFTA es debido en gran parte a la diferenciación vertical. Otra importante contribución es que el porcentaje del comercio intraindustrial horizontal se ha incrementado significativamente durante este período, aunque el comercio intraindustrial vertical continúa siendo dominante en el CII entre USA-NAFTA. Entre las variables específicas a nivel de industria, la diferenciación de productos, la diferenciación vertical de producto y las diferencias de calidad de productos tienen un efecto positivo en los tres tipos de participación de CII. La concentración industrial y el tamaño de la industria tienen un efecto negativo y estadísticamente significativo en los porcentajes o participaciones de los tres tipos de CII.
