Abstract

Resumen: Este trabajo considera las interacciones fiscales y monetarias en Colombia cuando la autoridad monetaria es más conservadora que la fiscal. Utilizando herramientas de teoría de juegos, se estudia el periodo 1991-2011 con el fin de analizar cómo los cambios institucionales en el manejo de los hacedores de política pueden afectar la función de bienestar social. El mejor resultado se obtiene cuando ambas autoridades siguen una regla. En cuanto a los juegos en dos etapas, cuando se presenta liderazgo de la autoridad monetaria, los resultados son menos deseables que cuando ambos agentes actúan de manera discrecional (equilibrio de Nash), debido a la influencia que tiene el gasto público sobre la inflación. El modelo utilizado parte de un escenario con una economía cerrada y en competencia monopolística, por lo que el mejor resultado posible es el denominado “second best”. / Abstract : In this paper we consider monetary and fiscal interactions in Colombia when the monetary authority is more conservative than the fiscal one. Using game theory tools, we examine the period 1991-2011 in order to analyze how the institutional changes in the handling of policy makers can affect society welfare function. In two stages games, when the monetary authority's has the leadership, the exercise concludes that this result is less desirable than when both authorities act in a discretionary way (Nash equilibrium) due to the influence of public spending on inflation. Also, when both authorities follow rules, this exercise presents the best results in terms of social loss function. The used model is based on a scenario with a closed economy in monopolistic competition, so the best possible result is the "second best".
