Abstract

ResumenLa teoría austriaca del ciclo económico se fundamenta en mecanismos de transmisión monetaria para explicar los auges y las recesiones. De acuerdo a los postulados austriacos, los mercados son procesos dinámicos de interacción entre los agentes económicos, en los cuales no se identifica una situación de coordinación general entre los planes de consumo o de producción en el tiempo. La razón de esta imposibilidad es la simetría de información. Así, el sistema económico se moviliza en dos tendencias: el desequilibrio, fruto de la ausencia de información completa, y otra de equilibrio, que se basa en la lógica del agente en generar oportunidades de beneficio económico. A partir de esta postura se analiza la relación existente entre las variables reales y monetarias de la economía colombiana en el período 1990-2005, a través de un análisis gráfico y de un modelo de concentración.Abstract: The Austrian Business Cycle Theory is founded on monetary transmission mechanisms in order to explain peaks and troughs in the business cycle. According to Austrian postulates, markets are dynamic interaction processes among economic agents, in which a general situation of coordination between consumption and production plans through time is not identified. Asymmetric information is deemed to be the cause of such impossibility. Thus, the economic system fluctuates according to two tendencies: disequilibrium, caused by the absence of complete information, and equilibrium, based on the agent´s innate sense of generating opportunities for economic benefits. Based on these ideas, the existing relationship between real and monetary variables in the Colombian economy between 1990 and 2005 is analyzed. This is done though a graphical analysis and a through a model of co-integration
