Abstract

Resumen: En este ensayo examinamos una de las consecuencias de un cambio técnico industrial en el conjunto de la economía. Las predicciones de nuestro modelo teórico son contrastadas con las evidencias de dos casos: el inglés (1770-1840) y el colombiano (1923-1998). La evidencia indica que el cambio técnico en la industria inglesa fue un factor importante en la reducción de los precios relativos de los bienes industriales y en la aceleración del crecimiento de la economía desde fines del siglo XVIII y hasta mediados del XIX, tal como lo describe nuestro modelo teórico. En el caso colombiano la evidencia sugiere que el mecanismo mencionado solo ha operado de manera esporádica, con notables y prolongadas interrupciones, y, al menos aparentemente, con debilidad
