Abstract

En el presente artículo se examinan los determinantes de las crisis cambiarias en México en el periodo de 1975 a 2011, utilizando dos métodos: 1) se estimó un modelo de predicción usando un modelo econométrico probit, encontrándose evidencia de que tasas elevadas de señoraje, desequilibrios en cuenta corriente, el desalineamiento del tipo de cambio real, y la escasez de las divisas influyen de manera significativa en la ocurrencia de crisis cambiarias en el periodo de análisis; 2) se calculó un índice de advertencia oportuna, también para el periodo de 1975 a 2011, utilizando la técnica de análisis multivariado, para detectar con anticipación los factores que originan la crisis y con ello evitar su ocurrencia. Este índice detecta las fragilidades de la economía al menos con nueve meses de anticipación a la ocurrencia de las crisis./ This paper examines the determinants of currency crises in Mexico for the period 1975 to 2011, by using two methods: 1) a prediction model was estimated with the help of an econometric probit model, finding evidence showing that high rates of seignorage, account imbalances in the current account of the balance of payment, the misalignment of the real exchange rate and foreign currency shortages have a significant influence in explaining the presence of currency crises in the period of analysis; 2) an early warning index was calculated for the period 1975 to 2011, by using the technique of multivariate analysis to identify in advance the factors causing the crisis and thereby allowing to prevent its occurrence. Such an index detects the fragility of the economy at least nine months prior to the occurrence of a crises.
