Abstract
En este artículo analizamos teórica y empíricamente la relación entre la insuficiencia dinámica (ID) (Prebisch, 1970; Avendaño & Perrotini, 2015) y la tasa de crecimiento consistente con el equilibrio de la balanza de pagos (gbp) (Thirlwall, 1979) para un conjunto de economías de América Latina durante el periodo 1977-2011. Nuestra hipótesis consiste en que la ID exacerba la restricción externa al crecimiento debido a la brecha entre la tasa natural de acumulación de capital y la tasa de crecimiento garantizada (kn>gw) ya que existe una relación de causalidad de kn ag. Esto significa que está determinada por condiciones de demanda y de oferta.
In this paper we analyse theoretically and empirically the relationship between dynamic insufficiency (DI) (Prebisch, 1970; Avendaño & Perrotini, 2015) and the growth rate consistent with balance of payments (gbp) equilibrium (Thirlwall, 1979) for a set of Latin American economies during the period 1977-2011. Our hypothesis is that DI exacerbates the external constraint on growth due to the gap between the natural rate of capital accumulation and the guaranteed growth rate (kn>gw) and that there is a causal relationship between and. This means that is determined by demand and supply conditions.
