Abstract

“Hoy en día es corriente la utilización de estimativos del producto potencial en modelos macroeconómicos construidos con fines predictivos. En estos modelos, la brecha entre el producto efectivo y el potencial es una variable esencial que determina la evolución de los precios y salarios. Desde la publicación del trabajo de Nelson y Plosser (1982), que sugiere que las series del producto se caracterizan de manera más adecuada como series integradas, ha habido un creciente reconocimiento acerca de la dificultad de medir el componente permanente de esa variable, o producto potencial. La presencia de un componente permanente estocástico implica que el producto potencial no pueda ser tratado como una tendencia determinística. Como resultado, varios métodos se han desarrollado para descubrir el componente transitorio. El objetivo central de este trabajo es el de presentar un estimativo del producto potencial para Colombia, utilizando para ello el método de vectores autorregresivos estructurales (VAR estructural). En este trabajo se muestra cómo el producto potencial de la economía colombiana puede ser estimado utilizando para ello un enfoque derivado de la metodología VAR estructural, que posee muchas ventajas sobre otros enfoques. La aplicación del método permite observar cómo los choques de oferta y de demanda son la fuente de las fluctuaciones del producto potencial y el efectivo. Los choques de oferta resultan ser esenciales en las fluctuaciones del producto y los de demanda en la tasa de desempleo. También fue posible estimar las brechas que en diversos períodos se presentan entre el producto potencial y el efectivo.”
