The authors propose a short run model for the monetary transmission mechanism in which the output gap is modelled as an unobserved variable. By estimating this model using maximum likelihood on a Kalman Filter, the authors find an estimate of the unobserved output gap as well as its estimation...

As originally drawn and estimated by professor Phillips, the Phillips curve is a curve indeed, not a straight line as often thought. Following Laxton, et. al. (1999) we estimate a convex Phillips curve and model the NAIRU as a variable that is unobserved. Using Colombian data, we provide...

Colombia has been on a steady disinflation path since the early 1990s. The paper presents a model of the transmission mechanisms of monetary policy in Colombia, in order to examine this disinflation. The model is used to describe the evolution of inflation in response to shocks to the terms of...

Colombia has been on a steady disinflation path since the early 1990s. In this paper, we model the transmission mechanism of monetary policy during this disinflation. We describe how inflation evolves in response to important shocks that occurred during disinflation such as the terms of trade...

Sudden stops seem to create the perfect environment for disinflation, especially when central banks defend the exchange rate by increasing interest rates. We propose a variation of the output gap model that incorporates the sudden stop shock. The use of the model in policy analysis shows that...

Using the Johansen's cointegration techique we develop an empirical model of the nominal and real exchange rates of Colombia. We find that the nominal exchange rate is deremined by the nominal variables and the fundamentals and that the real exchange rate is determined by the fundamentals but...

En este artículo estimamos la demanda de dinero en Colombia introduciendo una variable para la innovación financiera. Al introducir la innovación financiera obtenemos un vector cointegrante que puede interpretarse como una demanda de dinero pues los coeficientes son teóricamente plausibles....
