Abstract

“En este artículo se analiza la credibilidad de la banda cambiaria en Colombia y en particular su impacto sobre el diferencial de tasas de interés. Un modelo de credibilidad imperfecta al estilo de Werner (1995) es desarrollado, y se utiliza para explicar el comportamiento de la tasa de cambio y del diferencial de tasas de interés en Colombia durante el período Diciembre 1994 - Septiembre 1998. La característica principal del modelo es que las expectativas de devaluación de la paridad central son endógenas con respecto a la posición de la tasa de cambio al interior de las bandas. En este trabajo la probabilidad de un realineamiento es modelada como una función de la posición de la tasa de cambio dentro de la banda. Si bien el espíritu del modelo es similar al de Werner, se diferencia fundamentalmente en que la probabilidad es función de una variable observada por todos los agentes, mientras que en el de Werner es una función de una variable no observable. Con el fin de contrastar la validez empírica de un modelo de estas características para el caso Colombiano, se estima la relación entre el diferencial de tasas de interés y la tasa de cambio para el período comprendido entre Diciembre de 1994 y Septiembre de 1998, y la volatilidad del diferencial de tasas de interés para el mismo período El resto del artículo está organizado de la siguiente manera. La segunda parte presenta el modelo y sus implicaciones, la tercera describe el método de estimación y las pruebas de credibilidad propuestas en este trabajo. En la cuarta parte se presentan los resultados de la estimación, y en la quinta las conclusiones.”
