The Argentine subsidiaries were financially disadvantaged by a series of operations, that included: 1) The sale of assets belonging to the Argentine subsidiaries to their controlling parties abroad; 2) intra-firm loans granted by Argentine subsidiaries to controlling parties to finance purchase-sale of asset; 3) Dividend remittance by subsidiaries in Argentina due to the higher income they obtained from the sale of that assets; 4) sale of the assets acquired by the controlling parties for an amount greater than that which had been acquired, realizing a capital gain at the expense of the losses of the subsidiaries in Argentina.

El presente trabajo pretende abordar las prácticas de vaciamiento corporativo llevadas a cabo por filiales de multinacionales en el sector petrolero -YPF S.A. (gestión Repsol) y Petrobras Argentina S.A.-. Estas experiencias se caracterizaron por el bajo nivel de inversión productiva y la salida de riquezas e ingresos al exterior. Como resultado, las filiales argentinas se vieron desfavorecidas patrimonialmente por una serie de operaciones que incluyeron: 1) La venta de activos pertenecientes a las filiales argentinas a sus controlantes en el exterior; 2) préstamos intra-firma otorgados por las filiales argentinas a las partes adquirientes en el extranjero para financiar dichas transacciones de compra-venta de activos; 3) giro de dividendos por las filiales en Argentina dado los mayores ingresos que estas obtuvieron por la venta de dichos activos; 4) venta de los activos adquiridos por parte de los controlantes por un monto mayor al que habían sido adquiridos, realizando una ganancia patrimonial a expensas de las pérdidas de las filiales en Argentina. Se utilizaron los balances contables de las empresas seleccionadas como fuente de información. El trabajo se encuentra inserto dentro de la discusión que aborda la financiarización de empresas no financieras en países emergentes.
