Abstract

La construcción es fundamental para el crecimiento económico y el empleo. Con un modelo insumo-producto cerrado a partir de la World Input-Output Database y la base insumo-producto multiregional EORA, se analizan los efectos multiplicadores de producto y empleo entre 1995 y 2009. Principales hallazgos son: 1.la construcción tiene multiplicadores totales de producto superiores al promedio de cada economía, pero la relación con los multiplicadores totales de empleo es variante, por lo general sólo son más altos en los países de mayores ingresos; 2.hay tendencias declinantes de los multiplicadores del producto (en menor grado) y del empleo a nivel global y en la construcción; 3.los efectos directos e indirectos se mantienen estables, pero los efectos inducidos han representado la mayor parte de los cambios de efectos totales; 4.en la mayoría de los países, cambios punta a punta en el ranking doméstico de multiplicadores de producción y empleo de la construcción fueron en la misma dirección; 5.los deflactores del costo laboral real por unidad de producto en moneda extranjera son variables clave para explicar las actuaciones de las relaciones de empleo a los multiplicadores de salida.
