Abstract

La medición de las expectativas de inflación es altamente relevante para una economía inflacionaria como la de Argentina. En este trabajo se estima la compensación por inflación implícita en los rendimientos de bonos argentinos durante el periodo de metas de inflación, empleando la diferencia entre el rendimiento de bonos argentinos ajustados y no ajustados por inflación. Bajo ciertas condiciones esta compensación es una medida de expectativas de inflación observable y con frecuencia diaria. Existe alta volatilidad en la compensación en el primer semestre de 2017 y de 2018. La compensación registra sistémicamente valores superiores a las expectativas de inflación obtenidas por el BCRA a través del relevamiento de expectativas de mercado (REM). Esto podría sugerir la incidencia de una prima por riesgo y liquidez, o indicar una posible subestimación de las expectativas por parte del REM. Al mismo tiempo la compensación estimada es un mejor predictor de la inflación realizada que la inflación esperada en el REM./ The measurement of inflation expectations is highly relevant for an inflationary economy like Argentina's. This paper estimates the implicit inflation compensation in the yields of Argentine bonds during the inflation targeting period, using the difference between the yields of inflation-adjusted and non-inflation-adjusted Argentine bonds. Under certain conditions, this compensation is an observable measure of inflation expectations with daily frequency. There is high volatility in the compensation in the first half of 2017 and 2018. The compensation systematically registers values higher than the inflation expectations obtained by the BCRA through the market expectations survey (REM). This could suggest the impact of a premium for risk and liquidity, or indicate a possible underestimation of expectations by the REM. At the same time, the estimated compensation is a better predictor of actual inflation than the inflation expected in the REM.
