Abstract

This article assesses the systemic economic impacts of oil price fluctuations on the Colombian economy though a calibrated computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for the year 2015. A simulation exercise was conducted, introducing a 1 % positive variation in commodity prices to examine the implicit elasticity of these prices in the country's economy. The results indicate an increase in gross domestic output due to higher investment and government spending. There is also a positive variation in real wages, driving household consumption, along with an increase in the basic prices of the economy. Domestic oil prices exhibited a greater degree of variation than international prices, leading to a loss of the country's external competitiveness. Consequently, economies with low diversification may become vulnerable in volatile price scenarios. The loss of competitiveness in these products can result in an expansion of the trade deficit.
国际油价变动的系统性经济影响:以哥伦比亚为例
本文通过校准的2015年可计算一般均衡(CGE)模型,评估了油价波动对哥伦比亚经济的系统性经济影响。进行了模拟练习,引入商品价格的1 %正变化,以检查这些价格在该国经济中的隐含弹性。结果显示,由于投资和政府支出增加,国内生产总值(gdp)有所增长。实际工资也出现了积极变化,推动了家庭消费,同时带动了经济基本价格的上涨。国内石油价格的变化程度大于国际价格,导致该国失去了对外竞争力。因此,低多样化的经济体在价格波动的情况下可能变得脆弱。这些产品竞争力的丧失会导致贸易逆差的扩大。
