Abstract

El presente artículo analiza los canales de contagio de la crisis económica internacional en el sector edificador colombiano. Así, mediante un estudio de tipo analíticodescriptivo se examina el comportamiento de los principales determinantes de la actividad edifi cadora nacional durante la crisis global. Igualmente, se realiza una revisión de la literatura que explica las causas y consecuencias de las crisis fi nancieras y económicas, y sus canales de contagio, en especial aquellos relacionados con la actividad constructora. Luego de la revisión bibliográfi ca y el análisis de información estadística se encontró que, la crisis financiera y económica global terminó por afectar el sector de la construcción a través de los canales comercial y financiero, los cuales influyeron en la reducción en el ingreso disponible de los hogares, las remesas, las tasas de interés, las variaciones en los precios de los insumos de la construcción. No obstante, las estrategias de políticas expansivas tanto fiscal como monetaria han contribuido a compensar los efectos negativos sobre el sector y contribuir a una pronta recuperación del mismo. / This article analyzes the knock-on channels of the global economic crisis in the Colombian building sector.

Likewise, a literature review that explains the causes and consequences of the fi nancial and economic crisis, and its knock-on channels, specially those related to the building activity is carried out. The literature review and the statiscal data analysis prompted that the fi nancial and economic global crisis winded up affecting the building sector throughout the commercial and fi nancial channels; which affected the available income of households, cash transferences, interest rates and price variations of building material. However, the strategies of expansive policy have contributed to compensate the negative effects on the sector and to contribute to an early recovery of the mentioned sector.
