Abstract

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es argumentar cómo la utilización de las TICs (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación) por parte de las empresas del sector químico catalán proporciona una mejora de la productividad y, por ende, la competitividad empresarial (Díaz-Chao y Torrent-Sellens, 2010). A partir de los datos para una muestra del sector químico catalán (82 empresas) se realiza la estimación de la productividad total de los factores (PTF) incluyendo la variable TIC para el período de tiempo comprendido entre el 2010 y el 2015, a fin de determinar la influencia que tiene esta variable en la competitividad internacional de las empresas. Es por ello que para construir el panel de datos se utilizan los microdatos extraídos de la base de datos Sistema de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos (SABI), publicada por Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing (BvDP). Los resultados obtenidos evidencian una relación positiva entre la utilización de las TICs y la productividad, que sigue de cerca el ciclo económico internacional, así como la existencia de una relación entre mejora de productividad e internacionalización. The main objective of this paper is to argue how the use of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) by companies in the Catalan chemical sector provides an improvement in productivity, and therefore, business competitiveness (Díaz-Chao & Torrent-Sellens, 2010). From the data for a sample of the Catalan chemical sector (82 companies), the total factor productivity (TFP) is estimated, including the ITC variable for the period of time between 2010 and 2015, in order to determine the influence that this variable has on the international competitiveness of companies. That is why the microdata extracted from the Sistema de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos (SABI) database, published by Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing (BvDP), are used to build the data panel. The results obtained show a positive relationship between the use of ICTs and productivity, which closely follows the international economic cycle, as well as the existence of a relationship between productivity improvement and internationalization.
