Resumen: Este trabajo analiza los principales determinantes de las tasas
de ahorro en la econom^a argentina. En la primera parte del trabajo, se
considera la correlation entre las tasas de ahorro nacional y de inversion
doméstica (la paradoja de Feldstein-Horioka). Posteriormente se investi-
ga la causalidad, en sentido de Granger, entre el ahorro nacional privado
y el
pib real, en modelos de var. A tal efecto, se emplean datos anuales
que cubren el periodo 1970-2004.

Palabras clave: ahorro nacional, inversion doméstica, producto real (PIB
real), causalidad.

var models.
The paper uses annual data during the 1970-2004 period.
