Abstract

La literatura sobre planes de estabilización realizados con el objetivo de reducir inflaciones crónicas se concentró mayormente en los casos exitosos, dejando de lado los numerosos intentos fallidos. Este trabajo realiza un relevamiento amplio de planes en Latinoamérica para mostrar las diferencias entre aquellos que muestran un éxito sostenido, los que tienen un éxito temporario y los intentos fallidos. Para eso, se indaga sobre la evolución de las variables económicas antes, durante y después del lanzamiento del plan, con la intención de comprender qué elementos mejoran las chances de reducir duraderamente la inflación y cómo se comportan las economías luego de la aplicación de un programa. Esta contribución puede ayudar a optimizar el diseño de políticas de estabilización en la Argentina contemporánea. Las conclusiones se resumen en 6 hechos estilizados: (1) los planes que reducen la inflación son los que logran estabilizar el tipo de cambio nominal; (2) los planes exitosos aprecian el tipo de cambio real; (3) los planes exitosos son expansivos; (4) que un plan sea exitoso es más factible con mejores resultados externos y (5) condiciones internacionales más favorables; y (6) la sostenibilidad de la desinflación es más probable cuanto mejores sean los balances fiscales.
