Abstract
La estructura económica se encuentra habitualmente ausente de los análisis del estancamiento económico y no suele entenderse como un límite al crecimiento propiamente dicho. Sin embargo, entre todas las transformaciones económicas que definen hoy día las economías desarrolladas, la terciarización y la pérdida de peso de las industrias manufactureras resultan de una importancia fundamental. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis de la relación entre la expansión del sector servicios y la producción manufacturera como interrelación fundamental del proceso de cambio estructural que ha atravesado el Reino Unido durante el periodo 1970-2007. Se concede especial importancia a la distribución del ingreso entre productores a fin de entender mejor el aspecto dinámico de esta relación sectorial. La evidencia disponible permite afirmar que la expansión del sector servicios es crecientemente dependiente de las ganancias de productividad de las industrias manufactureras en un sentido estructural y distributivo, al tiempo que la escala de producción y su participación sobre el valor añadido total siguen descendiendo.
The economic structure is usually absent from most analysis of economic stagnation and is not very likely to be considered a limit to growth proper. However, among all the economic transformations that define nowadays most advanced economies, the expansion of the service economy and the decrease in importance of manufacturing industries are of an overall importance. In this regard, this paper addresses the relation between the expansion of the service economy and the manufacturing sector understood as the elemental inter-connection that has given shape to the process of structural change undergone by the United Kingdom during the period 1970-2007. Special attention is given to income distribution among producers as a key aspect for understanding the dynamic aspect of this relation between the service economy and the manufacturing industries. The evidence found depicts a tertiary sector ever more dependent on a shrinking secondary sector both in terms of their structural interrelation and the distribution of income through the price mechanism, which, in turn, favors the former.
