Concentración de la industria manufacturera en Colombia, 2001-2010: una aproximación a partir del índice de Herfindahl-Hirschman
description
This paper presents the results of the extent of concentration for 60 industrial activities in Colombia; each activity was categorized according to the level of concentration exhibited: high, moderate and low. The same analysis was made computing the concentration index for 19 departments plus Bogotá, which gave broader picture of the industrial concentration level in Colombia. Finally, the statistical F test was used to determine the relative stability of the concentration index. The data for this research comes from the Colombian Manufacturing Annual Survey (EAM by its acronym in Spanish), disaggregated up to three digits and addressed by three dimensions of analysis: i) the number of employees, ii) the number of firms, and iii) the added value. The results show that 73% of the whole manufacturing industry in the country exhibits high levels of concentration, while the remaining 27% is distributed in equal proportions between moderate and low levels of concentration. The analysis by department shows that 45% of them have a high industrial concentration level, 25% moderate and 30% low. While the city of Bogotá showed the lowest level of concentration, the department of Cesar showed the highest level. According to the F test results, the concentration level found in 2001 was statistically the same in 2010 for almost all the activities analyzed. The same evidence was found when the index was computed by departments and the city of Bogotá. These results indicate that the extent of concentration in the Colombian manufacturing industry has remained practically static between 2001 and 2010.

El mismo análisis se extendió a nivel departamental y, finalmente, para determinar la estabilidad del índice de concentración a largo plazo se utilizó la prueba estadística F. La base de datos utilizada proviene de la Encuesta Anual Manufacturera (EAM) desagregada a tres dígitos. El grado de concentración se revisó a través de las dimensiones como el número de personas ocupadas, el número de establecimientos y el valor agregado dentro de la industria. Los resultados muestran que el 73% de la industria manufacturera en Colombia exhibe altos niveles de concentración y el 27% restante se distribuye en porciones iguales, donde el 13,5% presenta niveles de concentración moderada y el 13.5% concentración baja. El análisis por departamento muestra que el 45% de ellos posee una alta concentración, 25% moderada y 30% baja. La ciudad de Bogotá, por su parte, reflejó el menor nivel de concentración; mientras que el departamento del Cesar presentó el máximo nivel de concentración. Al llevar a cabo la prueba estadística F, se concluye que las cuotas y posiciones relativas de los establecimientos en el mercado no variaron significativamente entre 2001 y 2010. Esta conclusión fue valida tanto a nivel de actividad industrial como a nivel geográfico. Lo anterior sugiere la presencia de un alto grado de estabilidad del nivel de concentración de la industria manufacturera en Colombia.2014text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5465370(Revista) ISSN 0124-0021Diálogos de saberes: investigaciones y ciencias sociales, ISSN 0124-0021, Nº. 40, 2014, pags. 115-138spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
