Abstract

In various developed countries, manufacturing began through the internal processing of locally available natural resources. Currently, high-income countries participate in world trade by exporting these products. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the level of sophistication of these exports by monitoring the unit price of exports of the petrochemical chain (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela); copper (Chile and Peru); iron and steel (Brazil and Mexico); and soybean and its derivatives (Argentina and Brazil). We show the potential for elevating domestic export income by increasing manufacturing done within a country before its export.
