Asimetrías en la Respuesta de los Precios de la Gasolina en el Mercado Chileno
Abstract
El principal objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar la presencia de asimetrías, tanto en el nivel como en la velocidad de ajuste, de los precios de la gasolina a los cambios en los costos de producción en el mercado chileno. Para lograr este objetivo, se considera y complementa la metodología utilizada por Duffy-Deno (1996), para medir estos dos tipos de asimetría en función de un modelo de rezagos distribuidos finitos particionado. El análisis se realiza para dos estructuras de series de datos, una serie promedio para el periodo comprendido entre enero de 2001 a diciembre de 2003 y otra serie desagregada a nivel de distribuidor minorista, para el periodo entre marzo de 2001 y noviembre de 2002. La serie desagregada permite estudiar no sólo la posible presencia de asimetrías en los cambios de precios, sino que facilita también la comparación del comportamiento entre los diferentes agentes participantes del mercado, lo que hace del mercado chileno un caso de estudio interesante. Los resultados encontrados, establecen que en general el mercado de la gasolina en Chile presenta un ajuste en proporción igual tanto para aumentos como para bajas en los precios aguas arriba, evidenciándose únicamente un cierto patrón de asimetría determinado por la diferencia en la velocidad de ajuste.Download Info
