Difusión Javier García-Cicco (Duke University). Real Business Cycles in Emerging Countries? This
paper investigates the hypothesis that a Real-Business-Cycle (RBC)
model driven by permanent and transitory productivity shocks can account
well for observed aggregate fluctuations in emerging countries. A
difficulty with existing studies that make this claim is the use of
short samples to estimate the parameters of the underlying driving
forces. This practice is problematic because a central goal in this
literature is to ascertain the contribution of permanent productivity
shocks. This paper uses more than a century of aggregate data from
Argentina to estimate the parameters of a small open economy RBC model.
The main finding is that the estimated RBC model does a poor job at
explaining the Argentine business cycle, especially along five dimensions:
(a) the RBC model counterfactually predicts that consumption growth
is less volatile than output growth. (b) The volatility of the trade
balance-to-output ratio implied by the RBC model is four times as
large as its empirical counterpart. (c) The volatility of investment
growth is half as large in the model as it is in the data. (d) The
RBC model predicts the wrong sign for the autocorrelation function
of output growth. (e) In the model, the trade-balance share in output
is a near random walk, with an autocorrelation function close to unity,
whereas in the data, the highest autocorrelation coefficient of this
variable takes place at the first order and is less than 0.6, with
higher-order autocorrelations converging quickly to zero. The results
are robust to a number of modifications, including variations in the
sample size. |

Objetivos del encuentro: Analizar cómo, a través de estrategias empresariales adecuadas, puede lograse la sustentabilidad empresaria y a su vez, promover el desarrollo social acelerado. La
Base de la Pirámide es un enfoque para lograr el crecimiento
y la sustentabilidad empresaria y, simultáneamente, promover
un desarrollo social acelerado. Este enfoque debería incluir
asociarse con la pobreza para innovar y alcanzar escenarios sustentables
del “todos ganan” en donde dicho nivel esté activamente
relacionado y comprometido, lo que implica establecer un profundo
proceso de aprendizaje, cuya consecuencia es la cogeneración
de ideas y oportunidades, que fortifican las capacidades locales y
los sistemas socio-económicos en la creación de valor
para las partes. El evento acredita horas de Workshop.
