Abstract

Resumen: En los últimos anos, se ha observado un extraordinario incremento en los precios internacionales de las materias primas, como los combustibles fósiles (petróleo) y los productos agropecuarios. Este trabajo analiza el comportamiento de los precios reales de las principales materias primas agrícolas (trigo, maíz, soja y arroz), utilizando modelos de SVAR, con restricciones de corto plazo, y datos anuales que abarcan el período 1960-2010. Los resultados sugieren que los precios de estas materias primas se incrementan ante mejoras en el crecimiento industrial, políticas monetarias expansivas, depreciación del dólar y reducción de inventarios. Hay una relación inversa entre la razón inventarios/consumo y los precios reales de los granos.Abstract: In recent years, there has been an extraordinary increase in international commodity prices, such as fossil fuels (oil) and agricultural products. This paper analyzes the behavior of real prices of major agricultural commodities (wheat, corn, soybeans and rice) using SVAR models, with short-term restrictions, and annual data covering the period 1960-2010. The results suggest that the prices of these commodities increase with improvements in industrial growth, easy monetary policy, dollar depreciation, and inventory reductions. There is an inverse relation between the ratios inventories/consumption and the real prices of grains
