Abstract

Este documento propone un modelo multisectorial de crecimiento, dinámico y estocástico que integra la literatura de ciclo económico real con la de economías con sectores en bonanza y enfermedad holandesa para analizar fluctuaciones, asignación de recursos y los cambios en precios relativos en una economía (en desarrollo) pequeña y abierta, sujeta a choques en los términos de intercambio. Las predicciones del modelo son consistentes con el comportamiento agregado y sectorial a través del ciclo, típico de estas economías, y racionaliza como un resultado eficiente los síntomas de la enfermedad holandesa (desindustrialización temporal y apreciación de la tasa de cambio real) que son a veces considerados como repuestas subóptimas y como la justificación de la intervención gubernamental en países en desarrollo. Se encuentra además que las políticas de estabilización de precios de los bienes primarios no afectan significativamente el patrón cíclico de las fluctuaciones y que sus beneficios en términos de bienestar son de segundo orden.
