Resum

Este artículo busca arrojar un poco más de luz en el actual debate «manufacturas frente a servicios» y su papel en el crecimiento económico, tomando como punto de partida la Comunicación de la CE Por un Renacimiento Industrial Europeo. Se presentan dos criterios para evaluar las razones que justifican el apoyo a determinados sectores económicos (ya sea manufacturas o servicios): 1. la capacidad de generar empleo y 2. la capacidad de presentar un crecimiento positivo de la productividad. El artículo evalúa las manufacturas y los servicios en función de estos dos criterios, utilizando la base de datos PREDICT, caracterizada por su elevada desagregación sectorial. La conclusión a la que se llega es que los sectores de servicios cumplen en general con los dos criterios mencionados, mientras las manufacturas no lo hacen. También se pone de manifiesto la importancia de los sectores TIC y los intensivos en I+D, tanto manufactureros como de servicios
