Impacts of Peso Depreciation and Changes in Other Business and Economic Variables on Aggregate Output in Argentina By Yu Hsing & Matthew Alford Southeastern Louisiana University, United States Abstract- This paper examines the effects of real depreciation of the Argentine peso and changes in other relevant macroeconomic variables on real GDP in Argentina. The results show that real GDP is negatively influenced by real depreciation of the peso, the real interest rate and the expected inflation rate and positively affected by the ratio of government spending or government deficit to GDP, the real stock price, the real oil price and U.S. real GDP. Therefore, recent depreciation of the peso hurts real GDP whereas recent rise in the stock price helps real GDP. Relatively high interest rates reduce real GDP through personal consumption spending, investment spending and net exports.

Its financial account of the Argentine peso and changes in other relevant showed a huge deficit in 2014 mainly because liabilities macroeconomic variables on real GDP in Argentina.

Solving for the problems including slow economic growth, high interest equilibrium real GDP and the inflation rate rates, high inflation, currency depreciation, large amount simultaneously and assuming that potential real GDP is of government debt, financial account deficits, etc. Real a constant in the short run, we have: GDP grew only 0.5% in 2014.
