Abstract

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en brindar un análisis econométrico del comportamiento del desempleo en el Ecuador entre el segundo trimestre del 2007 al cuarto trimestre del 2017. El trabajo emplea la Ley de Okun como enfoque teórico para explicar el comportamiento de la tasa de desempleo. La metodología consistió en una estrategia empírica soportada en los modelos de rezagos distribuidos autorregresivos con cointegración según el enfoque de Pesaran y Shin. Los resultados encontrados sugieren que en promedio por cada 1% de crecimiento del producto hay una disminución contemporánea de la tasa de desempleo de 0,30 puntos porcentuales, pero también hay efectos que perduran en los siguientes trimestres. Se concluye que la reducción de la tasa de desempleo en el Ecuador implica un esfuerzo político y de diseno de instituciones en las relaciones laborales entre trabajadores y empresarios para dinamizar el mercado laboral.
