Abstract
The objetive of this paper is to evaluate the short and long term effects of public investment in infraestructure on aggregate output, labor and capital formation in the private sector. The problem is analyzed in a dynamic multivariate framework, which allows for explicit consideration of feedback among all the variables. This approach departs from the current literature, which relies on a single equation model to estimate production functions. The results suggest a positive long term effect of public investment on the private sector variables.
El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar los efectos a corto y a largo plazo de la inversión en infraestructuras sobre el crecimiento del producto agregado, el empleo y el stock de capital en el sector privado. A diferencia de otros estudios, donde se estiman funciones de producción en un marco uniecuacional, en este trabajo planteamos el problema en un contexto multiecuacional dinámico, lo que permite tener en cuenta explícitamente la presencia de efectos de retroalimentación entre las variables consideradas. Los resultados sugieren que el efecto a largo plazo de la inversión pública en infraestructuras sobre las variables del sector privado es positivo.
