    El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar el grado de incidencia de las externalidades tecnológicas, asociadas con el comercio y la Inversión Extranjera Directa (IED), sobre la productividad, así como el papel de las capacidades tecnológicas en el proceso de difusión de conocimientos. Con este fin, se prueba empíricamente, mediante un modelo panel autorregresivo con rezagos distribuidos (ARDL), la contribución del flujo de conocimientos internacional sobre la Productividad Total de Factores (PTF) de la industria manufacturera de México para el periodo 1999-2012. Los resultados principales indican: i) la presencia de ganancias en productividad vía el comercio internacional, sin embargo, la magnitud de estos coeficientes es pequeña; ii) las externalidades tecnológicas son más relevantes en los sectores de alta intensidad tecnológica; iii) la IED ejerce una contribución marginal y poco concluyente sobre el desempeño de la productividad.

    The aim of this paper is to examine the degree of impact of technological externalities, associated with international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), on productivity, and the role of technological capabilities in the process of dissemination of knowledge. Tested empirically the contribution of the international flow of knowledge on Total Factor Productivity (TPF) of manufacturing in Mexico for the period 1999-2012, using a panel autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model. The main findings are: i) the presence of gains in productivity via international trade, however the magnitude of these coefficients is small; ii) technological externalities are more relevant in sectors with high technological capacity; iii) the FDI has a marginal and inconclusive on the performance of productivity contribution
