INTERCAMBIO DESIGUAL Y TASA DE CAMBIO: ¿SAQUEO O EXPLOTACIÓN? EL APORTE DE GERNOT KÖHLER
Keywords:
Unequal Exchange, Center-Periphery, Exchange RatesAbstract
Unequal Exchange is initially focused on latinoamerican experiences and reflections around the topic. Second part of the essay presents the cuantitative method of Gernot Köhler, results and tendencies during the last four decades of XXth. Century. They show –against conventional wisdom - that Thirld World currencies are not overvalued, but on the contrary, they are heavily undervalued with respect to the exchange rate measured in Power Parity Prices (PPP). The result is an enormous and increasing transfer of resources from Periphery to Center, stimulated by the triangle overdevaluation-debt-dependence. The proposal to overcome this adverse effect on Periphery is explicit and open to academic and political debate between Central and Peripheric nations.
