We estimate a non-parametrical Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and find strong evidence rejecting the classical linear CAPM. Furthermore, we find inconsistent linear betas for a series of stocks in the Colombian stock exchange (BVC), supporting the hypothesis of a better and consistent...

An application of Bayesian Model Averaging, BMA, is implemented to construct combined forecasts for the colombian inflation for the short and medium run. A model selection algorithm is applied over a set of linear models with a large dataset of potencial predictors using marginal as well as...

Three methodologies of estimation of models with many predictors are implemented to forecast Colombian inflation. Two factor models, based on principal components, and partial least squares, as well as a Bayesian regression, known as Ridge regression are estimated. The methodologies are compared...

En este documento estimamos el grado de transmisión de corto y largo plazo sobre lainflación de los bienes importados de un choque a la tasa de devaluación nominal enpresencia de asimetrías. Utilizamos una ecuación estándar de pass-through para modeloscon competencia imperfecta, datos...

Este documento evalúa el grado de transmisión de corto y largo plazo sobre la inflación de los bienes importados de un choque a la depreciación del peso colombiano cuando se controla por el ciclo económico. Encontramos que la transmisión es mayor cuando la perturbación ocurre en un...

Capital controls and intervention in the foreign exchange market are two controversial policy options that many countries have adopted in the past in order to influence the exchange rate and moderate capital flows. Colombia has a long record in the use of these policies with mixed results and...

Las opciones no solo son instrumentos que ofrecen la oportunidad de cubrir o aprovechar cambios direccionales en el precio del activo subyacente, sino que permiten valorar la volatilidad de este. En mercados desarrollados es posible identificar que los agentes sobrevaloran o subvaloran la...

La existencia de memoria de largo plazo en las series financieras implica que los retornos de un activo hoy pueden tener incidencia sobre los retornos futuros, incluso más allá del corto plazo. En presencia de dicha memoria el horizonte de inversión elegido puede resultar en diferentes...
