En este documento se estima un modelo economé¬trico que descompone la serie de inflación trimestral anualizada entre un componente transitorio y otro permanente; este último inducido probablemente por las variaciones en la meta del Banco Central. Se concluye que la persistencia inflacionaria...

Using Bayesian estimation techniques, we estimatea small open economy dynamic stochastic generalequilibrium model with credit-market imperfectionsfor the Colombian economy. We show thatthe combination of balance sheet effects and thechoice of monetary policy regime are likely to playan important...

This document presents how to estimate and implement a structural VAR-X model under long run and impact identification restrictions. Estimation by bayesian and maximum likelihood methods is presented. Applications of the structural VAR-X for impulse response functions to structural shocks,...

The Colombian economy and financial system have coped reasonably well with the effects of the global financial crisis. Hence, unconventional" policy measures have not been at the center of the policy decisions and discussions. Nominal short term interest rates have remained the main monetary...

In this paper we estimated a volatility model for COP/US under two different samples, one containing the information before the “discretional interventions” started, and the other using the whole sample. We use a nonparametric approach to estimate the mean and “volatility smile” return...

This document reviews and applies recently developed techniques for Bayesian estimation and model selection in the context of Time Series modelingfor Stochastic volatility. After the literature review on Generalized Conditional Autoregressive models, Stochastic Volatility models, and the...

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un ejercicio de pronóstico no paramétrico múltiples pasos adelante para la inflación colombiana mensual. En particular, se usa estimación Kernel para la media condicional de los cambios de la inflación dada su propia historia. Los resultados...

En la literatura sobre el consumo y el ahorro es cada vez más frecuente la utilización de bases de datos de carácter microeconómico, ya que ellas permiten un estudio detallado de los determinantes del ahorro privado. En el caso Colombiano, dichas bases de datos existen para las empresas y...
