Volatilidad y crisis: Tres lecciones para países en desarrollo

Abstract

La crisis internacional reciente no ha invalidado el conocimiento adquirido previamente sobre los orígenes y las curas de las crisis económicas. Por el contrario, lo ha confirmado. En este artículo se describen tres lecciones de siempre, confirmadas por la última crisis internacional. Primero, las políticas e instituciones domésticas, y no la globalización, son los principales determinantes de la volatilidad excesiva y las crisis económicas. Segundo, los seguros gratuitos o subsidiados al riesgo y la práctica de “rescates” a bancos y empresas deficientes están en el origen de las peores crisis. Y tercero, la flexibilidad para ajustarse a nuevas condiciones, alentada por un marco regulatorio ligero y eficiente, es el mejor antídoto contra los descalabros macroeconómicos.
