Abstract

En la medida que las economías en desarrollo avanzan hacia la modernización, incorporan progresivamente las nuevas tecnologías en los procesos de producción. Sin embargo, la incorporación del progreso tecnológico no es homogénea entre las diferentes ramas de actividad económica; por lo tanto, sus ganancias en productividad se distribuyen desigualmente. Este artículo aporta elementos explicativos sobre la relación entre progreso tecnológico y heterogeneidad estructural. La pregunta que guía la investigación es: ¿de qué manera la heterogeneidad estructural induce asimetrías en el aprovechamiento del progreso tecnológico? Los resultados estadísticos y econométricos muestran que la incorporación del progreso tecnológico en la industria manufacturera colombiana se presenta de manera desigual, pues las ramas de actividad intensivas en uso del conocimiento tienen capacidades productivas diferentes a las que presenta la industria de bajo uso del conocimiento. Estas capacidades siguen patrones asociados a una intensidad factorial en favor del capital fijo, lo cual ofrece mejores posibilidades para incorporar nuevo conocimiento.
