Crecimiento de largo plazo, Inestabilidad económica, Siglo XX

Resumen

Este trabajo explora los determinantes históricos del crecimiento económico de largo plazo en Argentina durante el siglo pasado. La evidencia indica que a principios de siglo la apertura económica jugó un rol clave para explicar el exitoso desempeño alcanzado hasta la gran crisis de 1930. De ahí en más, y hasta mediados de los ´70s, la economía mantuvo un crecimiento similar al del periodo previo, el cual estuvo impulsado por la demanda doméstica vía la inversión. Sin embargo, en el último cuarto del siglo pasado el crecimiento económico se redujo drásticamente, lo cual estuvo principalmente asociado con la inestabilidad económica, aproximada por la inflación y la volatilidad del crecimiento del producto per cápita. La intuición es que una vez que el país perdió mercados para sus exportaciones pudo mantener temporariamente el crecimiento gracias a la demanda interna, pero una vez que esta estrategia se agotó la economía entró en un largo periodo de turbulencia y estancamiento, específicamente desde 1975 en adelante. Por tanto, las recomendaciones de política son desarrollar nuevos sectores productivos orientados a la exportación, de manera de mitigar la restricción externa, así como evitar políticas procíclicas a fin de reducir la inestabilidad económica.
