Abstract
En el presente trabajo se aborda la relación existente entre la competitividad y los costes laborales. En particular contrastamos cómo, para los países de la UE-27 durante el periodo 1995-2009, no se cumple la hipótesis ortodoxa que vincula el crecimiento de la cuota exportadora de los países, así como de los sectores de alta densidad tecnológica, con la contención de los costes salariales.
Además, el artículo reflexiona sobre los vínculos existentes entre la competitividad, las políticas de rentas y el modelo de distribución de la renta. Se analiza cómo el incremento de las rentas del capital no se ha traducido en mayor inversión productiva ni en fortalecimiento de la competitividad.
In this paper we address the relationship between competitiveness and labor costs. We focus on EU-27 countries over the period 1995-2009. We test the orthodox hypothesis that links exports share growth and the improvement of high tech sectors, with wage containment, finding no evidence on that link. In addition, the article considers the linkages between competitiveness, incomes policies and income distribution. We analyze how the increase of profit share has not entailed an increase of gross capital formation and competitiveness.
