Abstract

Resumen: Este artículo evalúa el rol de la reasignación de liquidez vía crédito en la mitigación del costo de bienestar de la inflación. Presenta dos modelos teóricos: con y sin reasignación de liquidez. En el modelo con reasignación de liquidez, el dinero y el crédito coexisten. En particular, el dinero exhibe un doble beneficio: se puede usar para financiar consumo o para prestarlo a agentes con necesidades de liquidez. Este último uso de los saldos monetarios a través del crédito sirve para amortiguar el costo de bienestar la inflación. Ambos modelos son calibrados para la economía colombiana entre 1994 y 2021, lo cual permite medir el impacto de la inflación sobre el bienestar en términos del PIB. El costo de bienestar de reducir la inflación 10 puntos porcentuales sin reasignación de liquidez, bajo el protocolo de Nash y con un poder de negociación menor a 1, oscila entre 2,6% y 4,2% del PIB, mientras con reasignación de liquidez está entre 0,9% y 3,6% del PIB. El costo de bienestar asociado a una inflación positiva es siempre menor con reasignación de liquidez. Liquidity reallocation and the welfare cost of inflation in Colombia Abstract:This article evaluates the role of liquidity reallocation via credit in mitigating the welfare cost of inflation. It presents two theoretical models: with and without liquidity reallocation. In the model with liquidity reallocation, money and credit coexist. In particular, money exhibits a double benefit: it can be used to finance consumption or to lend it to agents with liquidity needs. The latter use of money balances through credit serves to cushion the welfare cost of inflation. Both models are calibrated for the Colombian economy between 1994 and 2021, which allows us to measure the impact of inflation on welfare in terms of GDP. The welfare cost of reducing inflation by 10 percentage points without reallocating liquidity, under the Nash protocol and with bargaining power less than 1, ranges between2.6% and 4.2% of GDP, while with liquidity reallocation it is between 0.9% and 3.6% of GDP. The welfare cost associated with positive inflation is always lower with liquidity reallocation.
