Este trabajo analiza el desempeño histórico de la industria manufacturera mexicana a partir de las estrategias que comienzan a adoptarse en la década de 1960. En particular, se estudia la relación entre los incrementos productivos impulsados por la apertura del mercado y los niveles de bienestar económico observados en la sociedad vinculada a este sector. Los resultados de un análisis secuencial de su evolución histórica y de la estimación de funciones de producción y mecanismos de distribución sugieren que el éxito productivo de la industria solo ha favorecido el aumento del bienestar económico de las empresas y sus dueños, pero no el de sus trabajadores o de la sociedad.
This paper analyses the historical performance of the Mexican manufacturing industry based on the strategies that began to be adopted in the 1960s. It examines in particular the relationship between the productive increases driven by the opening of the market and the levels of economic well-being observed among people involved in this sector. The results of a sequential analysis of historical trends and estimates of production functions and distribution mechanisms suggest that the productive success of the manufacturing industry has only served to boost the economic well-being of companies and their owners, but not that of their employees or the wider community.
