Abstract

Para hacer frente a un incipiente deterioro de las cuentas externas, el gobierno argentino acudió desde mediados de 2005 al uso de distintas medidas para desalentar las importaciones. En función de las limitaciones que impone la pertenencia al Mercosur, se hizo uso de medidas no arancelarias, en particular la aplicación de Licencias No Automáticas de Importación, las cuales no solo recayeron sobre importaciones para consumo final, sino también sobre bienes utilizados en el proceso productivo, como los de capital y transporte, y los insumos. La aplicación de las LNAs tuvo como efecto reducir las importaciones de los distintos sectores productivos, lo cual afectó negativamente sus niveles de producción. Las respuestas de los distintos sectores no fueron homogéneas en magnitud, así como tampoco el rol que jugaron las importaciones desde los diferentes orígenes. Más allá del impacto directo de las menores importaciones obre la producción de los sectores importadores, es posible observar también importantes efectos inter-sectoriales, que se canalizan por medio de las relaciones insumo-producto domésticas.
