Abstract

En los últimos 20 años las metas de inflación se han establecido como uno de los esquemas monetarios más utilizados tanto por países desarrollados como emergentes. Existen tantos defensores del esquema como detractores, desde el ámbito académico como también en la práctica. Quizás el punto de partida de este esquema sea la contribución inicial de Taylor que reabre el debate sobre el uso discrecional de instrumentos, particularmente la tasa de interés, para estabilizar a los precios mediante una meta, en contraposición a una regla exógena de oferta monetaria o tipo de cambio. La aparición de los programas de metas de inflación a nivel global determinó el inicio de un profundo debate que llega hasta nuestros días sobre la efectividad del uso de las metas de inflación como mecanismo de estabilización. Este artículo intenta explicar en forma reducida y ordenada el centro de esta discusión, para ello se analizan las condiciones que garantizan, desde el punto de vista teórico, el funcionamiento de dichos programas, presentando de manera ordenada las contribuciones de distintos autores al debate. Por otro lado, y a la luz de dichas condiciones, se analiza brevemente el programa de estabilización fallido ensayado en Argentina a partir de 2016.
