Abstract

El presente trabajo resalta la importancia de los shocks en los precios de alimentos sobre el comportamiento de la inflación en Bolivia y demuestra la efectividad de las Ferias del Precio y Peso Justo como instrumentos que pueden permitir controlar la inflación proveniente de alimentos. Se sugiere que los instrumentos no convencionales del Banco Central de Bolivia (BCB) han sido exitosos para controlar la inflación monetaria; sin embargo, y como se plasma en los mismos Informes de Política Monetaria, los shocks de oferta en los precios de alimentos son un factor de riesgo importante que el BCB no puede controlar. Se sugiere que las Ferias del Precio y Peso Justo pueden constituirse efectivas al respecto. Utilizando datos diarios de precios de los años 2016-2017, se obtiene que la realización de las Ferias del Precio y Peso Justo ha permitido reducir la inflación de alimentos en este período en 1,8% en los departamentos de La Paz y Santa Cruz.
