La acumulación de capital como un determinante de la tasa de crecimiento de la ley de Thirlwall

Abstract: <p class="Pa7"><span>En el presente artículo se desarrolla una extensión del modelo de la restricción externa al crecimiento a través de la incorporación de la tasa de acumulación de capital y de la tasa de crecimiento de la pro­ductividad del capital como determinantes de la tasa de crecimiento de las importaciones en una primera versión, y de las tasas de crecimiento de las importaciones y de las exportaciones en una segunda versión. En la primera versión se argumenta que, además de la tasa de cr… Show more

“…In the case of a small open economy (e.g., Argentina), facing exogenous terms of trade, output would not be limited by external demand, but by domestic supply and demand. Therefore, Thirlwall's model may not be appropriate if exports are not an autonomous component of aggregate demand; that is, if they are not constrained by resource under‐employment or if they are a residual after domestic absorption (Chena, 2014; Cortes & Bosch, 2015; Razmi, 2011; Vázquez‐Muñoz, 2018). However, Vernengo (2015), Ibarra (2015), and Pérez Caldentey (2015) cast doubt on their statements, and Thirlwall's himself states that balance‐of‐payments equilibrium growth rate can be raised by promoting exports or reducing the demand for imports, as well as, “within its limits, demand can generate its own supply by encouraging investment, absorbing unemployment, raising productivity growth, and so on” (Thirlwall, 1979, p. 52).…”

“…Finally, domestic absorption may be negatively related to exports, because domestic agents may demand more exportable products for their own consumption (Chena, 2014; Cortes & Bosch, 2015; Goldstein & Khan, 1985; Razmi, 2011; Vázquez‐Muñoz, 2018). For Argentina, this may be especially important for primary products, such as wheat, maize, or meat, and fuels and oils, which tend to be in high demand during the expansionary phases of the business cycle (Ceppi, 2018; Chena, 2014).…”

“…It can be argued that the use of fiscal policy in an open economy context is not useful (see Mundell, 1963); however, beyond some criticisms against that postulate, our proposal consists of a fiscal policy focused mainly on public investment. Public investment could reduce the demand for imports (see Vázquez Muñoz, 2018), which is the central obstacle to the effectiveness of fiscal policy. Moreover, our idea is in line with the public investment package announced by the United States government equivalent to 16% of GDP, which would produce positive externalities for the rest of the world, including Mexico.…”
