Abstract

This paper obtains a series of aggregate capital stock for the Spanish economy, in which for this calculation, the depreciation average was previously estimated as an additional parameter in a production function. Although the result when including the parameter in a production function is clearly not linear, a method of simplification is presented by means of an iterative procedure. In respect to the estimation of the initial capital stock, and due to its unrecognizableness, an alternative method is developed for its calculation. The results of this paper offer a value for the rate of depreciation greatly different from the ones commonly used. En este trabajo se obtiene una serie de stock de capital agregado para la economía española, en el que para su cálculo se ha estimado previamente la tasa de depreciación como un parámetro adicional en una función de producción. Aunque el resultado al incluir este parámetro en una función de producción es claramente no lineal, se presenta una vía de simplificación a través de un procedimiento iterativo. Por lo que respecta a la estimación del stock inicial de capital, y dada su no identificabilidad, se desarrolla un método alternativo para su cálculo. Los resultados del trabajo ofrecen un valor para la tasa de depreciación bastante diferente a los habitualmente utilizados.
