We estimate how the monetary policy works in small open economies with inflation target. To do so, we build a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model that incorporates the basic features of these economies. We conclude that the monetary policy in a group of representative small open...

Este artículo utiliza dos modelos macroeconómicos distintos, pero complementarios, para medir el efecto de algunos aspectos relevantes de la institucionalidad laboral de Chile respecto del ajuste y estructura de su mercado. Por un lado, se analiza cómo la rigidez de precios y salarios, junto...

El objetivo de este artículo es realizar estimaciones de un modelo keynesiano simple de equilibrio general Monacelli (2003) para caracterizar la efectividad y los mecanismos de transmisión de la política monetaria en países latinoamericanos. Se estiman los parámetros por medio de métodos...

To estimate how monetary policy works in small open economies, we build a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model that incorporates the basic features of these economies. We conclude that the monetary policy in a group of small open economies (including Australia, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and...

We compare welfare levels under two alternative fiscal rules: a procyclical balanced budget policy and an acyclical structural surplus (government accumulates assets). We use a dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium model. The acylical rule benefits households that do not enjoy access to...

We build a general equilibrium model of a small open economy, with the purpose of analyzing the effects of a countercyclical rule-based fiscal regime, which corresponds to a stylized version of the structural balance in place in Chile. The economy exports a domestically-produced good and one...

We build a general equilibrium model of a small open economy, which includes rule-of-thumb consumers, and staggeredd prices and wages, as well as distortionary taxes. The analysis of government spending based on the responses to a government spending shock under three different rules and the...

This paper proposes an optimal strategy for stabilizing macroeconomic policy to address jointly the effects of changes in the prices of food, minerals and energy (oil). Our approach differs from the general literature, which analyzes the effects of a commodity boom and therefore the solutions in...

Este trabajo cuantifica el impacto de los shocks de energía sobre el ciclo económico chileno. El principal resultado es mostrar que no sólo los tradicionales shocks de petróleo son relevantes para explicar el ciclo económico, sino también los cambios significativos en el precio de la...
