Abstract

The effects on bilateral trade and production volume of the pesodevaluation and safeguard measures imposed by the Ecuadorian governmentare analyzed by means of a computable general equilibrium model. Given themodel is of the real economy" type, an approximation is used to estimate theeffects of the peso devaluation. Results indicate that the peso devaluation mayhave an important impact on trade flows and that the safeguard measures, asdesigned, can only partly compensate it. Moreover, the safeguards have uneveneffects among sectors and generate further deterioration in Ecuadorian exportsto Colombia. Effects on production tend to be ambiguous for Colombia andnegative for Ecuador, even when devaluation is relatively modest.**Mediante el uso de un modelo de equilibrio general se simulan los efectos de la acción simultánea de la devaluación del peso colombiano y de las medidas de salvaguardia impuestas por Ecuador, sobre el comercio bilateral y la producción. Dado que se usa un modelo "real", se utiliza una metodología ad hoc para estimar los efectos de la devaluaci´on. Los resultados indican quela devaluaci´on puede tener un impacto importante sobre los flujos comercialesy que la implementación de las medidas de salvaguardia sólo lo compensa parcialmente. Adicionalmente, se encuentra que las salvaguardias generan efectos muy variados entre sectores y que producen un mayor impacto negativo sobre las exportaciones ecuatorianas hacia Colombia. Los efectos sobre la produccióntienden a ser ambiguos para Colombia y negativos para Ecuador, aún en unescenario de devaluación relativamente moderada."
