Abstract

In this paper, we estimate a simple version of an intertemporal current account model. This simple model utilizes an econometric approach developed by Campbell and Campbell and Shiller for a closed economy (the permanent income hypothesis of consumption under rational expectations) to test a similar implication for an open economy. The paper uses a simple model of optimal external borrowing to estimate a time series of the optimal consumption smoothing current account for Argentina. The time series of the optimal current account generated by the model serves as a benchmark against which to judge the actual data. We allow for variable interest rates and relative prices then. These additional variables are channels though which external shocks may influence the domestic current account.// En este trabajo se estima una versión del modelo intertemporal de la cuenta corriente. Este modelo emplea una propuesta econométrica desarrollada por Campbell y por Campbell y Shiller para una economía cerrada (la hipótesis del ingreso permanente del consumo con expectativas racionales) a fin de comprobar una hipótesis similar para una economía abierta. El trabajo utiliza un modelo de endeudamiento externo óptimo para estimar una serie de tiempo del componente de consumo atenuado de la cuenta corriente para la Argentina. La serie de tiempo de la cuenta corriente óptima, generada por el modelo, sirve como marco de referencia para juzgar el comportamiento de los datos observados. En la segunda parte del trabajo se relajan los supuestos de tasa de interés fija y de un solo bien comerciable, lo que permite la incorporación de tasas de interés variables y de los precios relativos entre los bienes comerciables y los no comerciables internacionalmente. Estas variables adicionales son canales mediante los cuales los choques externos podrían influir en la cuenta corriente interna.
