Abstract

Los controles de precios son medidas que pueden afectar considerablemente a los sectores sujetos a dichas políticas. Mediante un modelo de equilibrio general dinámico estocástico con dos tipos de agentes: campesinos y citadinos, calibrado para Bolivia, se muestra que ante caídas en la productividad del sector agropecuario, el empleo rural agropecuario y la producción agropecuaria se ven mermadas cuando existen controles de precios. Así mismo mejoras de productividad en el sector rural no agropecuario representan menores ganancias con precios fijos en relación a un mecanismo que permita que los precios se ajusten. En una simulación de las políticas realizadas en 2009 en Bolivia se encuentra que ´estas generan desequilibrios en los mercados provocando escasez de los productos agropecuarios en magnitudes considerables.
