Abstract
Analizamos aquí las reversiones de las cuentas corrientes en los países
periféricos de la zona euro (ZES), Grecia, Italia, España, Portugal e Irlanda,
durante los años de la crisis financiera. Después de determinar la tendencia e
inicio de estos procesos, investigamos los costes implicados en cada país, utilizando
un modelo keynesiano para economías abiertas. Estimamos el modelo
con datos de panel del periodo 1999-2013. Nuestros resultados indican que
cada país de la muestra sufrió costes significativos en términos de PIB, que
van desde 32% en Grecia, hasta 6% en Irlanda. Estos hallazgos nos permiten
obtener prescripciones de política económica, tanto para los gobiernos de los
ZES como para las autoridades nacionales del núcleo de la zona euro.
We analyze the current-account reversals in the peripheral countries of the euro zone (ZES), Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland, during the financial crisis episode. After determining the trend and start date of reversals, we investigate the involved economic costs in each country using a Keynesian model for open economies. We estimate the model with panel data of the period 1999-2013. Our results indicate that each country of the sample suffered significant costs in terms of GDP losses, going from 32% in Greece to 6% in Ireland. Results allow us to derive policy prescriptions for the governments of both peripheral and northern economies of the Eurozone.
