This paper develops a structural general equilibrium model to analyse the pass-through from devaluation to producer and consumer prices in Emerging Market Economies (EMEs). Simulation analysis shows that balance-sheet effects created by capital market imperfections and the home bias shrink the...

En la primera parte de este trabajo se aplica el modelo de bienes comercializables y no comercializables para caracterizar los desequilibrios principales de la economía española y deducir la ecuación que fundamenta el «Efecto Penn». En la segunda parte se estima esa ecuación con datos...
