Abstract

Este artículo busca comparar el efecto de un choque de política monetaria sobre la actividad económica en los 5 países de América Latina que más tiempo llevan operando bajo el esquema de inflación objetivo: Chile, Brasil, Colombia, Perú y México. Para cada país se estima un modelo VAR estructural con similares variables, encontrando que en México y Perú los impactos son significativamente mayores. También se pretende identificar los canales de transmisión que mejor operan en cada país, para lo cual se estima otro modelo VAR estructural pero ampliado con variables que deberían ser el vínculo entre las decisiones de política monetaria y los cambios en la actividad económica. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una mayor importancia relativa en todos los países del canal de tasa de interés. El canal de tasa de cambio muestra ser importante principalmente en México, mientras que los canales asociados a la visión del crédito son relevantes principalmente en Perú. ****** The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of monetary policy on economic activity in the five longest-operating Latin American countries operating the inflation targeting scheme (Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Mexico). A structural VAR model is estimated for each country using similar variables, finding that the impacts are significantly higher in Mexico and Peru. This paper also seeks to identify the best transmission channels operating in each country. This is carried out by estimating other structural VAR models in each country, but expanded with variables that should be the link between monetary policy decisions and changes in economic activity. The results show a greater relative importance in all countries for the interest rate channel. The exchange rate channel is shown to be important in Mexico, and the channels associated with the vision of credit are relevant only in Peru.
