Inflación y crecimiento económico: Evidencia con datos de panel para América del Sur

Author

  • Bittencourt, Manoel

Abstract

Se investiga el rol del comportamiento macroeconómico, principalmente en términos de tasas de inflación, como determinante del crecimiento económico en cuatro países de América del Sur que sufrieron episodios de hiperinflación en los años 1980 y principios de 1990: Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil y Perú. Los resultados empíricos, basados en la metodología de panel de series de tiempo para el periodo 1970 a 2007, confirman la evidencia que sugiere que inflaciones altas tienen un efecto perjudicial en el crecimiento económico.
