Abstract

El desarrollo econ�mico y social en Colombia est� amenazado, entre otros factores, por la “inestabilidad jur�dica”, agravada ahora por el activismo de la Corte Constitucional durante los a�os 1994-2000. En este documento se ilustran los efectos econ�micos mas profundos que habr�n de tener algunos de sus fallos. Argumentamos que el com�n denominador de los errores econ�micos de la Corte est� en el detrimento de la distribuci�n del ingreso, al usar criterios de supuesta igualdad, para casos que requer�an tratamientos diferenciales. Este ha sido el caso de la reliquidaci�n de los alivios hipotecarios, los controles permanentes a las tasas de inter�s en dichos cr�ditos y la indexaci�n de los salarios. Adicionalmente, estos fallos en materia salarial tornar�n mas dif�cil la lucha contra la inflaci�n, afectando negativamente la inversi�n y la generaci�n de empleo. No solo por el respeto a la separaci�n de poderes, sino porque es lo que le conviene al crecimiento de largo plazo del pa�s, concluimos que deber�an primar, como en los pa�ses desarrollados, los arreglos institucionales a trav�s de los cuales las discrepancias en materia econ�mica se dirimen, por excelencia, en el Congreso de la Rep�blica.
