Resumen

Esta investigación presenta una metodología cuantitativa para el mapeo de clústers en España; también explora la correlación entre la existencia de dichos clústers y el desempeño regional. El estudio se realiza a nivel NUTS-2, y se analizan un total de cuarenta y siete códigos CNAE-2009; asimismo se diseñan y calculan el índice TIC y el índice Industria 4.0. Se aplica una metodología de seis pasos basada en vínculos interindustriales y en un análisis clúster; se selecciona un grupo de clústers y se mapea sobre el territorio. El análisis de correlación muestra que un alto número de clústers basado en datos absolutos de empleo está positivamente relacionado con variables asociadas a la competitividad, educación, adopción de las TIC e Industria 4.0, mientras que no se encuentra correlación significativa con el PIB per cápita ni con las ganancias por trabajador.
