Abstract

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar cuáles son los principales determinantes de la prima de riesgo de tipo de cambio (ERP por sus siglas en inglés). El caso empírico se lleva a cabo para el peso-dólar diario durante un período a partir de 2007 y hasta 2015. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos el ERP está influenciado por diversas variables financieras que son el VIX, un Índice de carry trade, el EMBI y la prima por ordenes de transacciones en contratos de derivados. Estos resultados están en línea con los resultados previos en la literatura que han demostrado que las primas de tipo de cambio son influenciados por diversas variables financieras, que por lo general se consideran como "proxies" de riesgo.
