Abstract

In this paper we compare the results of applying two different approaches to the determination of real exchange rates. The first approach is based on relative fiscal impulses, as defined by the IMF, that account for demand shocks and was implicitly proposed by Obsfeld (1985). For the second approach, we follow a transformed version of Rogoff (1992) intertemporal neoclassical fixed-factors fiscal model for real exchange rate determination. We thus estimate a relationship between the peseta real exchange rate and productivity, government spending and the real price of oil. En este trabajo se comparan los resultados de aplicar dos enfoques distintos para la determinación del tipo de cambio real de la peseta respecto a Alemania, Francia y el Reino Unido. El primer enfoque se basa en el modelo propuesto por Obsfeld (1985), y explicaría el tipo de cambio real en función de perturbaciones de demanda. Aquí se han utilizado los impulsos fiscales, siguiendo la definición del FMI, para recoger dichos shocks, tal y como se deriva implícitamente del planteamiento de Obsfeld. El segundo enfoque está basado en una versión transformada del modelo fiscal para la determinación del tipo de cambio real de Rogoff (1992), de carácter intetemporal y que considera los factores productivos fijos en el corto-medio plazo. Este último modelo da lugar a una expresión que relaciona el tipo de cambio real con la productividad, el gasto público y el precio real de la energía.
