Abstract (Translated): 
This paper analyzes the link between the current account and the terms of trade, in the case of Argentina's economy. SVAR models with long-term restrictions and annual data covering the period 1986-2014 are used. The response functions suggest a positive reaction from the current account to shocks in the terms of trade (short term), supporting the existence of the Harberger-Laursen-Metzler (HLM) effect, while variance decomposition shows that the terms of trade account for about 18% of the variance of the current account, result similar to other developing countries
