Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la influencia de las variables que componen el Índice de Competitividad Global en el desarrollo económico de Paraguay para el periodo 2008 - 2018. El diseño metodológico fue de tipo bibliográfico-documental, de nivel explicativo y se recurrió a estadísticos y al desarrollo de un modelo econométrico. Entre los principales resultados, puede señalarse la relación entre algunos de los componentes del índice y el desarrollo económico, lo cual puede ser apreciado por la significación del subíndice A, requerimientos básicos, y el subíndice B, potenciadores de eficiencia, en el modelo econométrico. Se concluye que conocer los aspectos vinculados a la competitividad será de gran utilidad y permitirán tener mayores herramientas para emprender acciones que fomenten el desarrollo económico del país.]]></p></abstract>

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the variables that make up the Global Competitiveness Index on the economic development of Paraguay for the period 2008 - 2018. The methodological design was bibliographic-documentary, at an explanatory level which resorted to statistics and the development of an econometric model. Among the main results, the relationship between some of the components of the index and economic development can be noted. This can be appreciated by the significance of sub-index A: basic requirements, and sub-index B: efficiency enhancers, in the econometric model. It is concluded that knowing the aspects linked to competitiveness will be of great use and will allow us to have more tools to undertake relative actions to promote the economic development of the country.]]></p></abstract>
