Abstract

Los ciclos económicos colombianos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX implicaron considerables va-riaciones en los agregados reales de la economía. A partir de un modelo con tecnología de produc-ción AK y una función de producción de bienes de capital, que presenta retornos decrecientes para la inversión, se calculó el costo de las fl uctuaciones económicas en términos de consumo y bienestar de las familias. Según nuestros resultados, bajo esta-bilidad económica la tasa de crecimiento de largo plazo del consumo per cápita se habría incremen-tado entre 0,13 y 0,47 puntos porcentuales, pasando de 1,4% por ano, en el escenario fl uctuante, a una tasa en el intervalo entre 1,53% y 1,87% anual. De acuerdo con diferentes niveles de la elasticidad in-tertemporal de sustitución del consumo, la com-pensación necesaria para hacer que las familias obtuvieran un mismo bienestar bajo los dos esce-narios (fl uctuante y estable) equivaldría, en prome-dio, a 4,7% del consumo inicial.
