Abstract
El artículo compara las experiencias económicas de Irlanda y Finlandia, que son los dos países que en el periodo 1994-2003 alcanzaron las tasas de crecimiento más altas de toda la Unión Europea. En este tiempo, las dos economías se han reorientado hacia un nuevo patrón de especialización basado en sectores de tecnología avanzada, que se ha mostrado extraordinariamente competitivo a nivel internacional. La aplicación de una política industrial de largo plazo ha sido determinante en el éxito de estas dos experiencias. Sin embargo, la orientación estratégica de esas políticas ha sido muy diferente, si bien es posible detectar algunas coincidencias relevantes entre ellas. La conclusión más destacada del trabajo es que la estrategia irlandesa parece más brillante pero la experiencia escandinava es más consistente.
This article compares the economic experiences of Ireland and Finland, which are the two countries that achieved the highest growth rates in the whole European Union between 1994 and 2003. During this time, both economies have been oriented towards a new specialization pattern based on high tech production activities, which are highly competitive within the world economy. The implementation of a long term industrial policy has played a main role on both successes. However, the strategic orientation of these policies has been very different, although some similarities can be detected. The main conclusion of the article is that the celtic tiger results are brighter but less consistent than the Finnish ones.
