Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this paper is to analyse the automotive value chains in the Southern Common Market (Mercado Común del Sur-Mercosur) and the European Union (EU), focusing on the ability to develop technology endogenously, distinctive of the developed countries. The methodology will focus on the descriptive analysis of variables relevant to this object of study, such as production, foreign trade and technological development of the automotive chain in both regions. The main results show that the efforts and results of innovation are concentrated in the traditional European automotive core; while the production activities that are located in the European automotive periphery and in Mercosur are dissociated from those of technological development, given that the technology is mainly adopted from the automotive technological development core countries.
