Abstract

El trabajo presenta un modelo en el cual se determinan los factores de la dolarización tomando como marco teórico el Modelo de Fijación de Precios de Activos de Capital (CAPM). Posteriormente, se efectúa la comprobación empírica del modelo para la economía boliviana en el período marzo 1989- septiembre 2001. Como variable proxy de la dolarización se utilizó la relación de depósitos en moneda extranjera expresados en dólares estadounidenses con relación a los efectuados en moneda nacional y como proxy de la variable incertidumbre de devaluación, el segundo momento de la variación del tipo de cambio mediante un modelo GARCH(1,1). Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el fenómeno de la dolarización en Bolivia se encuentra determinado por el ritmo de devaluación monetaria, la incertidumbre de devaluación que perciben los agentes económicos y el fenómeno inercial de la dolarización. Se concluye por tanto que para revertir este fenómeno es necesario incorporar instrumentos financieros de cobertura de riesgo cambiario. Asimismo, en los últimos tres años la incertidumbre de devaluación, aproximada por la varianza condicional del tipo de cambio, ha registrado una marcada estabilidad comparada con años anteriores, lo que sugiere que el actual sistema cambiario adoptado por el Banco Central de Bolivia es adecuado para controlarla.
