Abstract

Proponemos una medida alternativa para la brecha producto de Perú basada en el uso de datos a nivel de firma de la Encuesta de Expectativas Macroeconómicas elaborada por el Banco Central de Reserva del Perú. La evidencia internacional apoya el uso de la brecha de capacidad de utilización como una medida exacta de la brecha producto y de desempleo. Suiza y Turquía han reportado utilizar este indicador para medir la dinámica de inflación y las fluctuaciones del ciclo económico. Calculamos la tasa NAIRCU (non-accelerating inflation rate of capacity utilisation) por empresa, para luego agregar la NAIRCU y obtener un indicador líder del ciclo económico. Este indicador proporciona información 45 días antes que los indicadores más comunes basados en el PIB. Además, proporciona información relevante sobre la dinámica de inflación dos trimestres por adelantado, una característica clave para los propósitos de política monetaria. Por lo tanto, la medida propuesta es un indicador de alta frecuencia y robustez teórica que puede ser utilizada como una medida alternativa dada sus ventajas metodológicas: (i) es libre de revisión, (ii) puede obtenerse de manera oportuna, (iii) no supone el uso de priors estadísticos, y (iv) permite estimar una variable no observable directamente de datos micro.
