Abstract

La economía boliviana ha experimentado un notable desempeño en las exportaciones tradicionales y no tradicionales a consecuencia del incremento de los precios internacionales y de la demanda externa. En cambio, el Banco Central de Bolivia adopta una política cambiaria de apreciación para cumplir con su objetivo de bolivianización de la economía nacional, lo cual genera una inconsistencia con la competitividad de los productos de exportación. El presente documento analiza, primero la relación entre el tipo de cambio real (TCR) y los fundamentos que determinan su equilibrio de largo plazo, y segundo, se estiman los efectos conjuntos del TCR y la actividad externa en la demanda de las exportaciones tradicionales y no tradicionales para el periodo 2006 a 2008 mediante un modelo de Vector de Corrección del Error (VEC), que muestra los efectos de corto plazo y su velocidad de ajuste hacia su nivel de equilibrio ante shocks transitorios. Los resultados señalan que la competitividad exportadora estaría asociada al ciclo económico de nuestros principales socios comerciales, y a aspectos institucionales, de productividad e innovación, apertura comercial, acceso al uso de tecnología y otros no relacionados al movimiento cambiario pero que posiblemente influyan en el desempeño exportador en el largo plazo.
