Abstract

Este documento analiza el impacto de la política de restricción a las exportaciones de carne bovina establecida en Bolivia en 2008, a consecuencia de los efectos adversos del fenómeno de ‘La Niña’, sobre la oferta doméstica del mismo producto alimenticio. Para realizar nuestra estimación aplicamos el método de control sintético, con un panel de datos conformado por 128 países entre 1995 y 2013, incluido Bolivia, con información macroeconómica, comercial, de infraestructura y mediterraneidad, con el fin de construir un contrafactual ‘sintético’ para comparación con el país que permita aproximar el impacto de dicha política sobre los resultados del mercado interno del producto en cuestión. Empíricamente y en línea con similares estudios, encontramos que la implementación de esta política comercial restrictiva fue contraproducente a su objetivo de reabastecimiento paulatino del mercado doméstico de carne bovina. Argumentamos que la política de restricción a la exportación implicó un desincentivo para los productores ganaderos, ralentizando la recuperación de su actividad productiva posterior a los eventos climáticos adversos que motivaron su implementación.
