Abstract

A capacidade da dolarização de gerar crescimento estável na América Latina, apesar da instabilidade ocasional no sistema financeiro internacional, foi objeto de significativa análise econômica nos últimos anos. No entanto, pouca atenção foi dada à política dessa questão. Este artigo tenta preencher esse vazio examinando os fatores políticos e econômicos que influenciam a eficácia política da dolarização. O artigo revisa o debate teórico e político no qual a questão da dolarização está situada e, em seguida, desenvolve um modelo informal das variáveis políticas e econômicas que influenciam a viabilidade da dolarização. Conclui que, embora a dolarização possa ser a opção política correta para alguns países da América Latina, é improvável que beneficie a maioria. A maioria dos países latino-americanos se beneficiaria mais ao abordar diretamente as forças conhecidas para promover a instabilidade econômica. Classificação JEL: F33; F31; O19.
