RSS 1.0Serie Banca Central, análisis y políticas económicas (artículos)
Los trabajos de investigación que normalmente se publican en cada volumen son versiones revisadas y editadas de documentos presentados en la Conferencia Anual del Banco Central de Chile. Estas reúnen a expertos, investigadores y académicos de bancos centrales y autoridades de política monetaria de numerosos países, con la finalidad de promover y discutir los últimos avances en investigación económica sobre temas macroeconómicos y de economía internacional. No obstante, también se ha publicado en esta colección algunos trabajos de investigación que no fueron parte de dicha conferencia anual, pero por su importancia para el Banco, se resolvió difundirlos en esta serie.
