Resumen

El documento explora el crecimiento potencial de Centroamérica y la República Dominicana luego de la crisis 2008-2009 para dar idea de su vulnerabilidad macroeconómica previo a la pandemia de 2020 y para comprobar si la senda observada se desvía de su potencial más que antes. Usando el filtro Hodrick-Prescott por minimización restringida, los modelos de función de producción, de cambio de régimen, y el promedio bayesiano de modelos, los principales hallazgos sugieren una ralentización regional del crecimiento pre-pandemia. Los resultados son mixtos por país. Este escenario no solo está influenciado por factores internacionales sino por particularidades; por un lado, los modelos estadísticos muestran un crecimiento potencial mayor y, en un contexto menos favorable, la región estaría más cercana al desempeño estructural; por el otro lado, los factores individuales limitan el crecimiento potencial.
