Observing the growth and improvements in the Peruvian labor market over the past 27 years, this study aims to test the validity of Okun's Law hypothesis for Peru during the period 1992–2019. To achieve this, a novel methodology is proposed, which involves calculating the production gap and unemployment gap. Firstly, a proxy variable for the time-varying natural rate of unemployment and a measure of potential output are calculated, both following the methodological approach suggested by the literature. Subsequently, a structural vector autoregressive model (S-VAR) is estimated to capture the lagged effects of Okun's theoretical relationship. The main findings of the study suggest that shocks in the precious metal price index impact both the production gap and the unemployment gap, confirming that the international dynamics of precious metal prices play a crucial role in economic performance when analyzed from the perspective of Okun's Law. This article demonstrates, in the context of a Latin American country, that Okun's law can be fulfilled by considering a fundamental analysis of the determinants of economic growth.
