Abstract

Este artículo analiza la sostenibilidad externa de un grupo de 23 países de la OCDE durante el período 1970-2020. La estrategia empírica adoptada muestra la importancia del desequilibrio acumulado como desencadenante del ajuste externo, en línea con la propuesta de Gourinchas y Rey (2007). Para ello, contrastamos la sostenibilidad externa a través de la relación acumulado-flujo entre las variables que representan las relaciones externas de una economía abierta utilizando varios tipos de contrastes de cointegración y multicointegración. Los resultados obtenidos apuntan hacia la sostenibilidad en sentido débil en el análisis de los flujos, mientras que desde el punto de vista del enfoque acumulado-flujo se concluye que cuatro países mostrarían sostenibilidad durante parte del período investigado tras realizar ajustes. Entre estos países se encuentran tanto economías no europeas, como Nueva Zelanda y Suiza, como miembros de la zona euro, especialmente aquellos con acceso más restringido a la financiación en los mercados internacionales.
