Tipo de cambio real y exportaciones: Evidencia de Argentina 2003-2008

Abstract

Entre 2003 y 2008, Argentina instrumentó una política que buscó preservar un tipo de cambio real competitivo y estable (TCRCE). El comportamiento del tipo de cambio real durante este periodo contrastó de forma marcada respecto a los periodos previo y posterior. Fue precedido por un periodo extendido de tipo de cambio real sobrevaluado y estable, y seguida por otro de persistente apreciación. Tan marcado contraste en el comportamiento del tipo de cambio real es útil para evaluar su influencia sobre el comercio exterior. En este trabajo nos concentramos en el impacto sobre las exportaciones. Para ello, adaptamos la metodología desarrollada por Freund y Pierola (2012) para detectar episodios de saltos exportadores (export surges) a nivel sectorial. Encontramos que durante 2003-2008 los sectores productores de bienes intensivos en mano de obra –los más sensibles al tipo de cambio real– experimentaron un mayor porcentaje de saltos exportadores. Encontramos también que entre 1980 y 2015 el pico de saltos exportadores a nivel agregado ocurrió en 2003-2008. Mostramos, además, que la exportación de servicios también fue muy dinámica durante este periodo. Tomada en conjunto, la evidencia recogida sugiere que la política de TCRCE fue importante para la trayectoria exportadora de Argentina durante 2003-2008.

Between 2003 and 2008, Argentina experienced a phase of very high and sustained economic growth. During this period, macroeconomic policy aimed to preserve a stable and competitive real exchange rate (SCRER). There is controversy on whether the SCRER policy was a key factor fostering growth and even more on whether it helped promote the expansion of tradable activities and exports. We use an adapted methodology of Freund and Pierola (2012) to detect episodes of export surges among Argentina’s export industries. We find that labor-intensive industries —especially low and medium technology manufactures— experienced the highest proportion of export surges within this period. We also find that between 1980 and 2015, the highest proportion of surges in total exports occurred during the 2003-2008 period. The performance of export of services was also particularly dynamic during this period. This evidence suggests that the SCRER policy was instrumental for export surges in Argentina during 2003-2008.
