Abstract

A pesar de su baja participación relativa en el producto, la variación de los inventarios constituye un factor relevante en el análisis de las fluctuaciones macroeconómicas. En Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, explica aproximadamente el 44% de la volatilidad del producto. La literatura existente se ha centrado mayormente en experiencias específicas, sin sistematizar hechos estilizados que reflejen de manera general su influencia. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo identificar hechos estilizados del comportamiento de los inventarios en distintos grupos de países y analizar su dinámica y función frente a diversos shocks en diferentes tipos de economías. Para ello, se construyeron estadísticos comparativos y se estimó un modelo de vectores autorregresivos estructurales (SVAR). Los resultados muestran que en los países de menores ingresos los inventarios exhiben mayor volatilidad y una correlación más estrecha con el producto y la inversión, así como una respuesta más pronunciada a shocks en comparación con las economías desarrolladas.
