Abstract

ResumenEsta investigación propone una vía para la evaluación del impacto de corto plazo quela crisis financiera y económica internacional, transmitida esencialmente a través delcanal comercial, puede tener sobre un conjunto de ocho economías latinoamericanas.Para el efecto se emplea un modelo del sector real, el modelo GTAP, caracterizadopor ser de alcance global y operar bajo el supuesto de retornos constantes a escala.La estrategia de modelación se basa en la implementación de un choque negativo a ladotación de capital de las economías de Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, de formatal que se genere un decrecimiento del PIB similar al pronosticado para 2009 por elFMI. Los principales resultados muestran un esperado y generalizado efecto negativosobre el PIB. Sin embargo, su intensidad no necesariamente depende del grado dedependencia comercial de las economías con respecto a Estados Unidos y la UniónEuropea. La composición sectorial del comercio tiene importancia. Otro tanto sucedecon el comportamiento de los precios internacionales. A pesar de que el impacto de lacrisis sobre el valor de los flujos comerciales luce relativamente moderado, la caídadel PIB tiende a ser mayor y no es desdenable. No obstante, cuando el impacto semide en términos de bienestar resulta ser más bien moderado.Palabras clave: comercio internacional, la crisis mundial, Colombia, de equilibriogeneral computable.
