Descripción
The access to a large variety of products is one of the main sources of gains from international trade and globalization. When an economy goes through a crisis, aggregate demand shrinks resulting in fewer product varieties being imported. In this paper we quantify short-run and medium-run welfare losses that resulted from the reduction in the number of imported product varieties during the Argentine crisis of 2001-2002. We find that short-run welfare losses vary widely across products and that medium-run recovery depends on the ability to substitute towards new varieties.
El acceso a una mayor variedad de productos es una de las fuentes principales de ganacias del comercio internacional y la globalización. Cuando una economía atravieza una crisis, la demanda agregada se reduce resultando en una menor variedad de productos importados. En este artículo cuantificamos las pérdidas de bienestar de corto y mediano plazo que resultan de la reducción en el número de variedades importadas durante la crisis Argentina de 2001-2002. Encontramos que a corto plazo las pérdidas de bienestar varían significativamente entre productos y que la recuperación a mediano plazo depende de la habilidad de sustitutir hacia nuevas variedades.
