Using data from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (COMTRADE), we show that the bulk of export growth in the region has been in the intensive rather than the extensive margin. Concentration indices support the finding that the expansion of exports into new products and new trading partners has been limited. Latin America's bid to diversify its exports using FTAs (based on a static concept of comparative advantages) instead of more comprehensive strategies has had a negligible impact. Governments should therefore adopt a more dynamic approach to comparative advantages and introduce more active policies. Finally, we pose some open questions for future research. 2014-01-02T18:46:08Z 2014-01-02T18:46:08Z 2012-12 Texto Sección o Parte de un Documento http://hdl.handle.net/11362/11602 LC/G.2549-P en CEPAL Review CEPAL Review 108 application/pdf AMERICA LATINA LATIN AMERICA
