Las políticas arancelarias en Ecuador en el período 2008-2020.

Abstract

Tariff policy is one of the economic policy mechanisms through which Ecuador determines the tariff allocation through which it will manage foreign trade of goods, including, among other things, the setting of tariffs. And it has a specific effect on the commercial uses of the State, such as the bartering of goods. Tariffs have long been used as a trade policy tool, especially as a protectionist mechanism. In recent years, the country has faced disadvantages such as poor regulation of production, substitution of exports in the country for primary products, difficulties in the trade balance and even a drop in exports. Merchant prices and lower exports have generated complications in account control. In this study, the methods applied are descriptive and quantitative, allowing us to analyze the tariff policies in Ecuador with a focus on the period 2008 to 2020. Through the study of the information expressed in statistical publications and other sources, such as, for example, the authors mentioned in our work, the same ones that permitted us to control the level of imports and exports, in addition to determining what are the commercial relations that the country has in the periods with which it is going to work in the same way, data related to the variable considered for the period 2008 to 2020 in Ecuador, taking into account events such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
