Abstract

En este artículo se discute el papel que juega la edad del capital en el crecimiento económico. Con este objetivo revisamos algunos resultados al respecto en modelos de crecimiento endógeno en los que el capital físico es heterogéneo por razón de la edad (vintage capital). Cuando las nuevas máquinas contribuyen al stock de capital, o de conocimiento disponible en la economía, de la misma manera que las máquinas heredadas del pasado, entonces la edad de los equipos no juega ningún papel. Sin embargo, este supuesto que está implícito en el modelo de Arrow de Learning by Doing es muy restrictivo, y en general, la edad del capital tiene efectos sobre el crecimiento económico. En claro contraste con el modelo AK estándar que resulta de los supuestos de Arrow, la inclusión de vintage capital en el modelo AK da lugar a una dinámica oscilatoria gobernada por ecos de reemplazo. Este mecanismo puede contribuir a explicar las desviaciones que se observan en los datos de series temporales entre tasa de crecimiento y tasa de inversión. Más aún, cuando se incorpora la depreciación en los efectos de la experiencia en el modelo de Learning by Doing, dicho mecanismo opera también, y da lugar a una serie de implicaciones de relevancia empírica que se discuten en el artículo.
