Abstract

This paper identifies and analyses the fundamental structural shocks that have explained the short run fluctuations of the Venezuelan economy in its recent history. For this purpose, we estimate a dynamic factor model (GDFM) with a panel of 115 variables and evaluate the effects of a monetary policy, a fiscal policy and an oil shock on their common component. These shocks are identified with the sign restriction methodology recently developed in the Structural VAR literature. We find that a monetary policy shock is not effective to modify economic activity, while an expansionary fiscal shock, financed with domestic debt, can increase household consumption and construction services, without affecting the aggregate production of the economy. Finally, an expansionary oil shock behaves identically as a positive aggregate supply shock.// Este trabajo identifica y analiza los choques estructurales fundamentales que explican las fluctuaciones de corto plazo de la economía venezolana en su historia reciente. Para ello, se realiza la estimación de un modelo aproximado de factores dinámicos (MAFD), el cual sirve de base para captar el efecto de los choques de política monetaria, política fiscal y choque petrolero en el componente común de un panel de 115 variables macroeconómicas. Estos choques estructurales son identificados por medio de la técnica de restricciones de signo desarrollada recientemente en la bibliografía. Los principales resultados indican que un choque de política monetaria no es efectivo para modificar la actividad económica, mientras que un choque expansivo de política fiscal financiado con endeudamiento interno logra incrementar el consumo privado y la construcción, pero sin afectar la producción agregada de la economía. Finalmente, un choque petrolero expansivo se comporta de manera idéntica a un choque de oferta agregada.
