La “bichera” es una enfermedad parasitaria que produce pérdidas cuantiosas en la ganadería uruguaya -principalmente por las horas de trabajo dedicadas a su prevención y tratamiento y por la muerte de ovinos. En este trabajo, se utiliza un modelo de equilibrio general computable dinámico para estimar los efectos que tendría una política pública para su erradicación sobre indicadores tanto macroeconómicos como sectoriales y de corto y largo plazo. Los resultados muestran impactos positivos sobre el nivel de la actividad económica, incluyendo indicadores del mercado laboral como salarios y empleo. Por otro lado, la apreciación del tipo de cambio real que genera el incremento de las exportaciones vinculadas a la ganadería impacta negativamente sobre otros sectores transables de la economía uruguaya. El análisis considera, además, tres fuentes alternativas de financiamiento del gasto público adicional.
The New World Screwworm (NWS) fly causes a parasitic disease that produces large losses in Uruguayan livestock farming – mainly due to the working hours devoted to its prevention and treatment and the death of sheep. In this paper, we apply a dynamic computable general equilibrium model to estimate the macroeconomic and sectoral effects of eradicating the NWS. The results show positive impacts on overall output and labor market indicators such as wages and employment. On the other hand, the appreciation of the real exchange rate generated by the increase in livestock exports has a negative impact on other tradable sectors of the Uruguayan economy. Besides, we consider three alternative financing sources for the additional government spending.
