Abstract

El presente artículo estudia los efectos de la concentración económica en la pérdida de sensibilidad de la balanza comercial a las variaciones del tipo de cambio real (TCR). Para esto se analizan los flujos comerciales de la Argentina (1993-2013), con el doble objetivo de, por un lado, identificar el cumplimiento de la condición Marshall-Lerner (CML) y, por otro, determinar la influencia de la concentración económica sobre la misma. Los resultados alcanzados muestran que los movimientos del TCR no generan cambios significativos en la balanza comercial. Sin embargo, cuando se aíslan los efectos directos e indirectos de la concentración económica, la balanza comercial aumenta su sensibilidad al TCR y se cumple la CML. ***** This paper analyses the effects that economic concentration on trade balance sensitivity has on changes in the Real Exchange Rate (RER). It uses Argentinian trade flows statistical data over the 1993-2013 period, with the dual purpose of identifying whether the Marshall- Lerner Condition (MLC) is met as well as the impacts of economic concentration on it. The evidence showed that RER movements do not generate significant changes in the trade balance; however, when the direct and indirect effects of the economic concentration are isolated, the sensitivity to RER increases and the MLC is met.
