Abstract

El cambio estructural implica modificar las relaciones de intercambio entre las ramas, junto con las proporciones entre las variables económicas. Los sectores adoptan el cambio técnico desigualmente, mientras la demanda crece asimétricamente. Por ello, el crecimiento es desequilibrado. De manera análoga, la ley de Kaldor-Verdoorn postula que el crecimiento económico se asocia, específicamente, con el comportamiento de la productividad laboral manufacturera, si bien no adopta el punto de vista multisectorial. Este artículo explora esta ley, justamente, desde el punto de vista multisectorial y concluye que es posible interpretarla en términos del modelo insumo-producto y usar la estática comparada para estudiar la evolución estructural de una economía. ****** Structural change means that the trade relationships between the sectors or industries in the economy shift, together with the proportions between the variables. Since technical and final demand also change asymmetrically, growth is generally unbalanced. Analogously, the Kaldor-Verdoorn law postulates that growth is positively related to the labour productivity in the manufacturing sector, yet it does not adopt a multisectoral perspective explicitly. This paper explores such law from this perspective and concludes that it is possible to understand it in terms of the input-output model, as well as using comparative statics to study the structural evolution of the economy. ****** A mudanca estrutural implica modificar as relacoes de troca entre os ramos, e também com as proporcoes entre as variáveis economicas. Os setores abracam a mudanca técnica de forma desigual, enquanto a demanda cresce de forma assimétrica. Portanto, o crescimento é desequilibrado. Da mesma forma, a lei Kaldor-Verdoorn postula que o crescimento economico está associado, especificamente, ao comportamento da produtividade do trabalho industrial, embora nao adote um ponto de vista multissetorial. Este artigo explora essa lei justamente de um ponto de vista multissetorial e conclui que é possível interpretá-la em termos do modelo insumo-produto e usar a estática comparativa para estudar a evolucao estrutural de uma economia.
