El objetivo de este trabajo es construir una medida apropiada del riesgo de liquidez para los bancos Chilenos. Ya existen varias medidas de riesgo de liquidez en la literatura, la mayoría basada en supuestos específicos y en opiniones de expertos. Con el fin de superar los posibles problemas de hacer ...

Este trabajo compara los efectos de la política monetaria convencional de EE.UU. sobre el rendimiento de los bonos de gobiernos extranjeros con los de las medidas no convencionales adoptadas luego de que la tasa de los fondos federales alcanzara su límite inferior efectivo. Para dicho período, ...

Este documento analiza cómo se relaciona la política monetaria con la política de estabilidad financiera, cómo se distinguen, cómo se pueden determinar las metas apropiadas para cada una, si ambas políticas se conducen mejor por separado o de manera coordinada y por las mismas o diferentes autoridades, ...

The inflation targeting regime in place in Canada requires a clear understanding of the monetary policy transmission mechanism and a way to exploit knowledge of that mechanism in making policy decisions. This paper describes the Bank of Canada's current undestanding of the monetary policy transmission ...

A number of recent papers have used policy simulations from small empirical macroeconomic models to assess the efficacy of inflation targeting or, more precisely, inflation forecast targeting (Svensson, 1997a). These include Rudebush and Svensson (1999). The models used to undertake these simulations ...

The conduct of monetary policy in terms of interest rate or other rules has been extensively studied in recent research. This literature gives a central role to forecasts of future inflation and output, and the question of whether monetary policy should be forward- ooking has been subject to discussion ...

Inflation targeting has become an increasingly popular monetary policy strategy, with 21 countries (8 industrial and 13 emerging market economies) targeting inflation and others considering following in their footsteps. Numerous studies of inflation targeting in industrial countries have been conducted, ...

Our previous work develops methods to study optimal policy in Markov jump-linear-quadratic (MJLQ) models with forward-looking variables: models with conditionally linear dynamics and conditionally quadratic preferences, where the matrices in both preferences and dynamics are random (Svensson and ...

Central bank economists and academic economists conducting research on the design of monetary policy have made significant advances in recent years. This work has led to a clearer understanding of the desirable properties of interest rate rules, the role of announcements and communication, and the ...

We study the role of the balance sheet channel of monetary policy in an environment in which credit plays an important role in the funding of new capital investment. Specifically, we ask whether the transmission mechanism of monetary policy is altered in an environment in which financial intermediation ...

In the 1990s several emerging market economies such as Chile Mexico and a number of southeast Asian countries displayed episodes of peaking growth rates combined with increasing current account deficits and appreciating currencies which ended with abrupt reversions in capital flows and recessions. In ...

Sixty years ago, Milton Friedman questioned the usefulness of the optimal control approach because of policymakers’ imperfect knowledge of the economy and favored instead a simple rule approach to monetary policy (1947, 1948). These are still live issues, despite the development of powerful techniques ...

En agosto del 2001, el Banco Central de Chile 'nominalizó' su principal instrumento de política monetaria, reemplazando la tasa de política monetaria (TPM) indizada a la Unidad de Fomento, que usaba hasta la fecha, por una TPM nominal o denominada en pesos. Una serie de consecuencias, tanto en la ...

Numerosos estudios han revisado la transmisión de la política monetaria en Chile y su impacto sobre las variables agregadas de la economía. Sin embargo, puede que exista información valiosa en un análisis de efectos más específicos sobre los distintos componentes de la actividad económica. Por ello, ...

Este artículo analiza la reacción del tipo de cambio entre pesos Chilenos y dólares estadounidenses a las medidas de política monetaria que se adoptan en Chile y Estados Unidos. Se corre una regresión a la variación del tipo de cambio frente a un anuncio de política, sobre la variación de la tasa de ...

El análisis empírico de este estudio sugiere que un objetivo de política cambiaria y el temor de un sobrecalentamiento de la economía nacional han sido los dos motivos más importantes para la (re) introducción y persistencia de los controles de capital de la última década. Los controles de capital se ...

In the twentieth century, Chile experienced most monetary and exchange rate regimes. Periods of fixed exchange rates usually ended in speculative attacks as a result of inconsistent policies or significant external shocks, generating serious real costs and larger exchange rate volatility.

Inflation targeting can be broadly defined as a framework for the conduct of MONETARY POLICY in which the central bank guides its instruments in order to hold inflation near a preannounced target or to bring back to the target. Although understanding the framework is straightfoward, its practical ...

For the last few years, the staff of the Iternational Monetary Fund (IMF) has been engaged in assessing the functioning and effectiveness of inflation targeting in IMF member countries that have adopted this scheme as their monetary policy anchor. This involvement was restricted to the IMF's surveillance ...

En este artículo se hacen proyecciones estocásticas del balance (saldos y flujos) del Banco Central de Chile, a partir de su situación deficitaria actual. Estas proyecciones incorporan el efecto que tienen sobre el balance algunas variables macroeconómicas y políticas alternativas y dan cuenta de la ...
