Abstract

en este trabajo analizamos la posibilidad de aplicar la Ley de Thirlwall para la estimación del output gap en la economía española, así como sus ventajas frente a otros métodos, especialmente el método estructural basado en la función de producción Cobb – Douglas y la NAIRU. Según la Ley de Thirlwall el crecimiento potencial de un país viene dado por la tasa de crecimiento de sus exportaciones, ya que éstas le proveen de demanda agregada y recursos financieros para sostener su crecimiento. Según nuestro estudio, la aplicación de la Ley de Thirlwall permite datar los ciclos económicos con resultados análogos a los de otros métodos, posee unas propiedades estadísticas similares a las de otros métodos y su implementación es más sencilla que mediante la función Cobb – Douglas.
