Abstract

Presentamos las inflaciones de los precios rígidos y flexibles para Colombia. Clasificamos los ítems del IPC distintos de alimentos y regulados como flexibles o rígidos de acuerdo con la duración de sus precios. Encontramos que, al igual que en otras economías, las canastas de flexibles/rígidos son similares a las de transables/no transables y las que subyacen las inflaciones doméstica/externa. Verificamos que se satisfacen los hechos estilizados de la dinámica de las inflaciones rígida y flexible establecidos en trabajos anteriores para otros países, y hallamos un nuevo conjunto de hechos que concuerdan con la historia monetaria colombiana, algunos de los cuales podrían ser estilizados para otras Economías Pequeñas Abiertas que siguen el Esquema de Inflación Objetivo. Encontramos, también, que la inflación de los precios rígidos contiene información con respecto a las expectativas e inflación futura, y evidencia que sugiere un quiebre estructural en la curva de Phillips Colombiana, el cual parece relacionarse con la adopción del régimen de libre flotación de la tasa de cambio. Finalmente, un Modelo de Precios Rígidos, MPR, reproduce los hallazgos más importantes.
