1 Diversification and Macro Policy Coordination Challenges: An Illustration with the Experience of Argentina Columbia IPD and Renmin University of China Conference Beijing August 29, 215
2 Motivation Two big issues: Diversification How can natural resource rich-economies escape from Dutch diseases and promote economic development? Exploitation of learning spillovers How can they develop non-resource tradable sectors with larger learning spillovers, that also incorporate the labor force in the functioning of the system?
3 Real Exchange Rate Policies Role of RER Policies for Economic Development (Guzman-Ocampo-Stiglitz 215) Challenges Illustration: The Case of Argentina (Guzman-Reyes 214)
4 The Case for Stable and Competitive RER Policies In the presence of learning spillovers, free markets would provide suboptimal solution Under-investment in sectors associated with spillovers If those sectors could be perfectly identified, if it was possible to implement direct subsidies, and if there were no political economy problems that affected the determination of subsidy policies, then there would exist a set of taxes, subsidies, and transfers that would be Pareto-efficient But if those conditions are not present, there is a role for Stable and Competitive RER Policies
5 The Case for SCRER Policies SCRER policy can enhance economic diversification through two main channels: It makes investment in the tradable sector more profitable It makes investment in the tradable sector less uncertain Growing literature shows that long-term growth is positively associated with the capacity to guarantee a competitive exchange rate
6 The Case for a Competitive RER Channeling the benefits to the right sectors Competitive RER policies also benefit the traditional export sectors Exchange rate policy alone may fail to encourage diversification Taxes of traditional commodity production (including export taxes) should be part of the policy package Creating de facto a system of multiple effective exchange rates
7 The Case for a Competitive RER Channeling the benefits to the right sectors General proposition: sectors with negative externalities or with less learning spillovers should be more heavily taxed This tax policy channels the benefits to the right sectors, and generates the revenues for running industrial policies that are complementary of SCRER policies Industrial policies as provision of credit to non-resource sectors (possibly through development banks), investments in infrastructure, education, and R&D, that would increase the elasticity of the aggregate supply to the RER
8 Policy Coordination challenges SCRER must be continued until the infants grow Continuity of SCRER requires coordination with fiscal and monetary policies Unsustainable macro policies could create inflationary pressures, that would affect RER stability and would make the RER less competitive
9 The economy in 22 GDP growth rate: -1.9% Unemployment rate 2% Utilization of capital 55% Large devaluation not followed by proportional pass-through competitive RER
10 23-27 Competitive RER Boosts exports Hence it boosts employment Amplification effects through recovery of aggregate consumption Demand-led growth strategy No inflationary pressures due to excess of supply capacity
11 International conditions get worse (global financial crisis) Persistence of demand-led growth strategy Strategy centered on consumption, not investment Common argument from policymakers: demand determines productivity growth (supermultiplier) No evidence in favor of a supermultiplier; if it existed, there would never be a binding budget constraint Inconsistencies appear to reveal Looming bottlenecks in energy sector Private capital outflows Attacked through exchange rate controls Exchange rate and public utilities used as nominal anchors
12 212-onwards Inconsistencies reveal at increasing pace Demand did not create equivalent supply Outcomes: Inflationary pressures Real exchange rate appreciation Exports stagnate GDP growth declines Falling foreign reserves Return to stop-and-go pattern Overall, no significant structural transformation Economy still not diversified; high dependence on soy beam exports

40 Conclusions SCRER sets (some of) the necessary conditions for diversification of the resource sector But a successful implementation requires some conditions Coordination with other macro policies is one of them Lack of coordination may impede the continuation of SCRER for the period of time that the infants need to grow The recent Argentina experience is an example of a SCRER that could not be continued
