Abstract
RESUMEN En este trabajo desarrollamos un modelo teórico que explora los efectos desinflacionarios y distributivos del crecimiento económico. Sin margen para fijar el tipo de cambio nominal y con falta de credibilidad de la autoridad monetaria, el crecimiento puede ser una alternativa para la desinflación si se sostiene con incrementos de la productividad. En condiciones no tan particulares, asociadas al valor que toman las elasticidades empleo-producto e importaciones-producto, no sólo no es necesario resignar crecimiento para reducir la inflación, sino que este permite reducir los costos unitarios de producción por incrementos de productividad. No obstante, esta estrategia basada en el crecimiento trae consigo una mayor desigualdad de ingresos, y si los salarios son muy sensibles al crecimiento del producto podrían ser contraproducentes para la desinflación. GROWTH, DISINFLATION AND DISTRIBUTION: ANOTHER IMPOSSIBLE TRINITY? ABSTRACT This paper builds a theoretical model that seeks to explore the disinflationary and distributional effects of economic growth. With no margin to fix the nominal exchange rate, and with a lack of credibility of the monetary authority, growth can be an alternative to disinflation if it is supported by productivity increases. Under not so particular conditions, associated with the value of employment-output and imports-output elasticities, not only is it not necessary to give up growth to reduce inflation, but it also allows reducing unit production costs through productivity increases. However, this growth-based strategy brings with it greater income inequality, and if wages are very sensitive to output growth it could be counterproductive to disinflation.
期刊介绍:
It is a specialized journal, bilingual (Spanish and English), plural and critical, which accepts and publishes scientific research articles in national and international economy. It is considered a public good that belongs to the University and society. Its vocation is to analyze the evolution of the theoretical and practical economics. In its pages the paradigms of economics, history of economic thought, the theories and debates about economic policy and its consequences, the diagnosis of the Mexican economy, the economic development of Latin America and the problems spread the world economy in general. It is a journal that does not discriminate plural none paradigm; theoretical orientation is unorthodox for epistemological reasons, not ideological preferences.
