Competencia oligopólica y comercio internacional: examinando la calidad de productos
Oligopolistic Competition and International Trade: Examining Product Quality

https://doi.org/10.29105/ensayos41.2-3Palabras clave:
Organización Industrial, Comercio Internacional, Calidad de productosResumen
En este documento, se propone examinar teóricamente el comercio de la calidad de productos con un marco de competencia oligopólica a la Hotelling, en lugar de un marco de competencia monopolística o competencia perfecta como es el estándar en la literatura del comercio internacional. Este marco permite identificar la calidad de los productos, al tiempo que captura simultáneamente la preferencia por la variedad y la preferencia por la calidad de los consumidores. Los resultados teóricos permiten construir dos índices que capturan la calidad a través de los precios y de las cantidades. Usando datos altamente desagregados a nivel producto, se prueban los índices y se presentan resultados sobre el comercio de la calidad, en productos y países seleccionados. Por ejemplo, México y Francia exportan calidad en el caso de los vinos, sin embargo, los indicadores muestran que los vinos de Francia poseen mayor calidad.
