Abstract

El aumento de la inflación en el 2007 ha generado preocupación en Bolivia. El presente documento demuestra que la inflación ha sido una característica de la historia económica del país y que ésta implica costos para la sociedad, principalmente, influye de forma directa en la pobreza y en la desigual distribución del ingreso; por lo que su control es primordial. Asimismo se expone que el Banco Central de Bolivia puede controlar la inflación núcleo por medio de las políticas monetaria y cambiaria, aunque éstas actúan con rezago y su efectividad dependerá de otros factores como la confluencia de shocks diversos en la economía, la evolución de las expectativas y los choques externos.
