Abstract

Resumen: La flexibilidad de las políticas monetarias puestas en marcha por las economías desarrolladas durante el presente siglo, y profundizada a partir de la crisis financiera de 2008, ha llevado a economías emergentes como la colombiana a disenar políticas que contrarresten los efectos negativos de los flujos de capitales sobre el producto y la inflación. En este trabajo se analiza la postura del Banco de la República para mitigar dichos efectos, con el fin de determinar la ciclicidad de la política monetaria en el período comprendido entre 1996 y 2011. Para ello, se contrasta un modelo teórico con un modelo VECm. Los resultados muestran que la postura de política monetaria es inicialmente pro-cíclica ante choques generados por la entrada de capitales; sin embargo, los impactos de dichos choques sobre el producto y la inflación llevan a que la política monetaria del banco central tienda a ser contra-cíclica. Abstract : Monetary policy flexibility implemented in developed economies during the present century, deepened after the financial crisis of 2008, has led emerging countries such as Colombia to design policies aiming to counteract the negative effects of capital flows on output and inflation. In this paper, we analyze the posture of the Banco de la República to mitigate those effects in order to determine the cyclicality of monetary policy between 1996 and 2011. To this end, we contrast a theoretical model with a VECm model. The results show that the monetary policy stance is initially pro-cyclical with respect to shocks generated by capital inflows. However, the impact of these flows on output and inflation ultimately leads the central bank to conduct counter-cyclical policies.
