Costos de inflación en un modelo de búsqueda monetaria con formación endógena de precios: el caso colombiano

Abstract

Los modelos de búsqueda monetaria, gracias a los trabajos teóricos recientes, no sólo permiten entender el intercambio como un fenómeno monetario, sino también dar respuesta a interrogantes de política monetaria como son los costos de inflación. El presente trabajo es un aporte a los diversos intentos por desarrollar medidas para el caso colombiano reciente. Utilizando el método simulado de momentos (SMM) para estimar el modelo propuesto por Rocheteau y Waller (2005), se encuentra que, al incorporar mecanismos endógenos de formación de precios, estos costos oscilan entre 0,5% y 7% del PIB, dependiendo de ciertas condiciones. Los resultados que brinda este trabajo son mayores que otros aportes anteriores, debido a nuevos elementos incorporados en este modelo, como la presencia de externalidades en las cantidades de intercambio, en la composición y en el poder de mercado, que no se habían incluido en estudios anteriores
