Abstract

“La tasa de cambio real (TCR) es uno de los precios relativos más importantes de la economía. Desviaciones sostenidas de su nivel de equilibrio pueden llevar a desequilibrios macroeconómicos severos, cuya corrección "generalmente requerirá políticas de manejo de la demanda y una devaluación real" (Edwards 1994). Este trabajo examina el grado de desalineación de la tasa de Cambio real en Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Perú, Venezuela y Estados Unidos. Seguimos un modelo en el cual la tasa de cambio real de equilibrio es el valor compatible con una posición de balanza de pagos en la que, cualquier desequilibrio de la cuenta corriente es compensado por un flujo sostenible de capital extranjero (equilibrio externo) y el uso eficiente de recursos domésticos (equilibrio interno). Este trabajo modela la tasa de cambio real de equilibrio como el valor o la senda consistente con el equilibrio externo, esto es, una posición de balanza de pagos en la que cualquier desequilibrio en cuenta corriente es compensado con un flujo sostenible de capital internacional, y con el equilibrio interno, esto es, la utilización eficiente del capital y el trabajo domésticos. El resto del documento está estructurado de la siguiente forma. En la sección 2 se presenta un modelo ilustrativo de los determinantes de la tasa de cambio. La sección 3 vincula los conceptos de equilibrio económico y cointegración para el problema bajo análisis. En la sección 4 se estudian los principios econométricos que tienen que ver con la estimación del equilibrio no observado de largo plazo. En la sección 5 se describen los datos y en la sección 6 se presentan los resultados empíricos. El documento termina con algunas conclusiones en la sección.”
