Este documento describe la metodología desarrollada por Vapnik (1995), denominada máquinas de vectores de soporte (SVM, por sus siglas en inglés) y realiza dos aplicaciones al caso de clasificación de agentes para el otorgamiento de créditos a partir de sus características. El primer caso...

In this document we develop a DSGE model to analyze the effect that a consumption boom and a productivity shock have over financial stability and macroeconomic variables, in both, an economy with and without Basel III capital requirements and earnings reinvestment rule. The results suggest that...

This paper quantifies the welfare effects of decentralisation in Colombia, using a multiregional CGE model.We investigate to what extent will the Colombian Population be better off when goods such as health and education, are delivered locally as against centrally. A provision scheme based on...

Este trabajo pretende determinar qué conjunto de rigideces nominales y reales se debe incluir en un modelo DSGE para replicar la dinámica de las variables agregadas de la economía colombiana. Con este fin, se estiman varios modelos DSGE con distintas combinaciones de rigideces nominales y...

En este trabajo se presenta un modelo de equilibrio general dinámico y estocástico para analizar la estabilidad financiera de una economía cerrada y sin gobierno. El modelo se basa en el propuesto por Leao y Leao (2007), adicionando un incumplimiento endógeno del pago de la deuda por parte...

In this paper we develop a DSGE model to analyze the welfare implications over households that bank's asset recomposition might have. We model a representative bank that potentially faces liquidity dificulties due to a mismatch between credits issued to firms and deposits supplied by households....

This paper offers some preliminary steps in the marriage of some of the theoretical foundations of the new economic geography with spatial computable general equilibrium models. Modeling the spatial economy of Colombia using the traditional assumptions of CGE models makes little sense when one...

This document presents a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with rule of thumb (Non-Ricardian) agents and both nominal price and wage rigidities. The model follows closely that of Galí et al. (2004) and expands it to include a second way form of heterogeneity (besides the...

We study the determinants of sovereign default risk in Colombia by focusing on different time spans of risk which are indicated by yield spreads of government bonds with different maturities. Cointegration regressions are performed to analyze whether the drivers of short-run default risk are...

This paper investigates whether developed countries export taxes to developing countries, contributing to the deterioration of their terms of trade and welfare; that is to what extent the distribution of gains from trade is being affected not by existing tariffs in developed countries, which are...
