Abstract

En este artículo examinamos el comportamiento del mercado cambiario, el cual se caracteriza por movimientos extremos muy frecuentes ocasionados por la información generada dentro del mercado financiero y el entorno macroeconómico internacional. Utilizando datos del tipo de cambio MXN/USD, comparamos dos modelos estocásticos: el movimiento browniano geométrico (MBG), el cual está basado en la densidad normal, y el proceso varianza-gamma (PVG), el cual nos permite capturar el sesgo y el exceso de curtosis de los cambios en los precios. Concluimos que, en general, el PVG ajusta mejor a los datos que el MBG. Mostramos, además, que el ajuste mejora conforme aumenta la ventana temporal utilizada para calcular los rendimientos del mercado cambiario.
