- dc.description.abstract In the 1990s, Chile began to integrate more into the global economy. Likewise, China was becoming a major player in the world trade market. By 2007, China was Chile's main trading partner and Chinese goods accounted for nearly 40% of Chilean imports. This study analyzes the effect of increasing Chinese imports in the 2000s on small manufacturing firms in Chile. We find that for each percentage point increase in Chinese import intensity, small firms lose 0.7% of profits and 0.3 employees on average. Furthermore, we find that this negative impact disproportionately falls on female employees and employees involved in the production process.ca
- dc.description.abstract Alrededor de 1990, Chile empezó a integrarse más en la economía mundial y China se convertia en un actor importante en el mercado internacional. En 2007, China era el principal socio comercial de Chile y los productos chinos representaban casi el 40% de sus importaciones. Este estudio analiza el efecto del aumento de las importaciones chinas en la década del 2000 sobre las pequeñas empresas manufactureras de Chile. Encontramos que por cada punto porcentual de aumento en la intensidad de las importaciones chinas, las pequeñas empresas pierden un 0,7% de ganacias y 0,3 empleados. Además, este impacto negativo recae desproporcionadamente sobre las mujeres y los empleados involucrados en el proceso de producción.
