Abstract

Este documento analiza la racionalidad de mantener reservas internacionales, las cuales se usan como un tipo de seguro ante problemas de financiamiento externo y para intervenir en el tipo de cambio. Aquí se argumenta que no es posible separar ambos objetivos. Esto explica por qué el empleo de otras formas de seguro, aunque potencialmente más baratos, no son generalizadas. Por otra parte, el hecho de que en la práctica la utilización de las reservas internacionales sea muy baja, incluso en períodos de crisis, es evidencia de que tienen un rol disuasivo –el solo hecho de mantenerlas reduce la vulnerabilidad financiera. La evidencia para la crisis subprime se estudia, encontrando que las tensiones financieras fueron menores en economías con altos niveles de reservas. Finalmente, se discuten diversas formas de medir el nivel adecuado de reservas y se examinan las variaciones de reservas y del tipo de cambio durante las crisis asiática y subprime en economías emergentes.
