Descripción
This document analyzes the interactions between macroeconomic regimes, employment generation and the dynamics of labor incomes in Argentina under two different macroeconomic regimes: the currency board regime of the 1990s and the high real exchange rate regime that followed. The former one, characterized by a strong currency overvaluation, had a negative impact on economic activity and the labor market. However, the maintenance of a competitive real exchange rate does not by itself guarantee the sustained positive performance of the labor market, as it became evident in Argentina during the 2000s. Although the sizable depreciation of the peso together with a positive international context- favored the expansion of output and employment, the initial concern of maintaining the real exchange rate in a competitive level was not continued with policies aimed to counteract the appreciation trend that appeared a few years after the implementation of the new regime.
Este artigo analisa as interações entre regimes macroeconômicos, geração de empregos e a dinâ- mica dos rendimentos laborais na Argentina sob dois regimes macroeconômicos distintos: o regime de currency board dos anos 90, e o subsequente regime de altas taxas reais de câmbio. O primeiro, caracterizado por forte sobrevalorização cambial, teve impacto negativo sobre a atividade econômica e o mercado de trabalho. Entretanto, a manuten- ção de uma taxa real de câmbio competitiva não garante, por si mesma, um desempenho positivo sustentável do mercado de trabalho, como se tornou evidente na Argentina durante a década de 2000. Embora desvalorizações significativas do peso – assim como um contexto internacional favorável – favoreceram a expansão do produto e do emprego, a preocupação inicial com a manutenção da taxa real de câmbio em níveis competitivos não foi complementada com políticas voltadas para conter a tendência de apreciação que surgiu alguns anos após a implementação do novo regime.
