Se estudia la relación empírica entre el crecimiento económico y la pobreza monetaria en el Perú durante la década que se inicia en el 2000. Se reportan evidencias que son consistentes con la hipótesis de que el crecimiento económico habría favorecido más a la población en situación...

This paper evaluates the qualitative and quantitative implications of financial dedollarization of firms' liabilities on real aggregates in a small open economy model. We extend the standard Cespedes, Chang, and Velasco (2004) model by allowing entrepreneurs borrow in both foreign and domestic...

This paper presents a partial equilibrium characterization of the credit market in an economy with partial …financial dollarization. Financial frictions, in the form of costly state veri…cation and banking regulation restrictions, are introduced and their impact on lending and deposit interest...

We build a small open economy, real business cycle model with labor market frictions to evaluate the role of employment protection in shaping business cycles in emerging economies. The model features matching frictions and an endogenous selection effect by which inefficient jobs are destroyed in...

The slope of the sticky information Phillips curve proposed by Mankiw and Reis (2002) is based on the degree of information rigidity on the part of firms. Carroll (2003) uses an epidemiology model of expectations and finds evidence for the U.S. of a one-year lag in the transmission of...

La disparidad de las tasas de interés activas entre segmentos y los niveles de estas tasas con relación a las tasas de interés de los depósitos, son dos características del mercado de créditos peruano que mayor discusión generan. Para explicar las razones subyacentes, este estudio analiza...

I describe a simple new-keynesian macroeconomic model for a small open and partially dollarized economy, which closely resembles the Quarterly Projection Model (QPM) developed at the Central Bank of Peru (Vega et al. (2009)). Then I use Bayesian techniques and quarterly data from Peru to...

Se propone una metodología de identificación individual de potenciales beneficiarios de programas sociales. Esta herramienta comprende dos etapas: en la primera se determina un índice de bienestar y en la segunda los puntos de corte que permiten distinguir a los hogares que califican como...

This paper studies the properties of an economy subject to random liquidity shocks. As in Kiyotaki and Moore [2008], liquidity shocks affect the ease with which equity can be used as to finance the down-payment for new investment projects. We obtain a liquidity frontier which separates the...

In a fully micro-founded New Keynesian framework, we characterize analytically the relation between average inflation and oil price volatility by solving the rational expectations equilibrium of the model up to second order of accuracy. Higher oil price volatility induces higher levels of...
