Abstract

Se evalúan los determinantes del consumo privado agregado en Argentina, utilizando modelos VEC y VAR para una base de datos anual (1950-2022) y luego una trimestral (1993-2022). Los resultados no parecen dar sustento al modelo teórico tradicional que asocia el crecimiento del consumo con variaciones en la tasa de interés real. Nuestras estimaciones indican en cambio que la propensión marginal a consumir en tasas del ingreso es 0.92 (serie anual) y 1.38 (serie trimestral). Además, los ejercicios de impulso-respuesta verifican que las perturbaciones en el ingreso se trasladan al consumo de manera inmediata y con mucha intensidad, completándo se en apenas un año en la serie anual, y en medio año en la serie trimestral. La prescripción general es que si el sector privado no suaviza su gasto ante cambios en el ingreso, debe hacerlo el sector público mediante la política anticíclica.
