[Trilema de economía creado por Robert Mundell, según el cual] en una economía abierta es imposible tener a la vez libre movimiento de capitales, tipo de cambio fijo [y] política monetaria independiente. 3, record 1, Spanish, - trinidad%20imposible
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Desde hace varias décadas los economistas identificaron un dilema fundamental en la arquitectura de las finanzas internacionales, al que denominan la trinidad irreconciliable o la trinidad imposible. Recibe estos nombres porque hay tres objetivos de política económica que son imposibles de lograr al mismo tiempo. El primer objetivo que puede buscar un país es retener la independencia de su política monetaria, esto es, quiere estar en posibilidad de reducir las tasas de interés para luchar contra las recesiones, y elevarlas para atacar la inflación. El segundo objetivo es que le gustaría tener un tipo de cambio más o menos estable, esto es, evitar fluctuaciones erráticas en el valor de su moneda respecto a otras monedas, para no afectar negativamente las decisiones de gasto e inversión de sus agentes económicos. El tercer objetivo de política es contar con una convertibilidad total con el exterior, esto es, las autoridades desean asegurarle a las empresas y las personas que el dinero puede entrar y salir libremente del país, para aprovechar los beneficios del capital externo y evitar las oportunidades de corrupción que, inevitablemente, se asocian con cualquier intento de limitar el movimiento de capital. 2, record 1, Spanish, - trinidad%20imposible
