Las exportaciones del Ecuador, una comparativa de significancia del camarón, banano y cacao en el crecimiento económico mediante la aplicación del modelo Solow-Swan

Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the impact of shrimp, banana, and cocoa exports on the Real GDP of Ecuador during the period 2012-2022. Given that the majority of Ecuador's income comes from exports and the objective is to analyze whether these have been significant for the nation's economic growth and understand how they have affected the Real GDP in recent years. Using a quantitative research approach and applying the Solow-Swan economic growth model, the results indicated that shrimp exports individually have a significance for the Real GDP, while banana and cocoa exports were found to be less substantial. This does not mean that they are not important for the nation's economy, but rather that at the level of Ecuador and its exports, they are not the most prominent.
