Abstract

El presente documento analiza el efecto indirecto entre consumo agregado y el diseño de política monetaria bajo el enfoque neokeynesiano básico en una economía pequeña y cerrada. Asumiendo agentes heterogéneos, se observa que el impacto de la tasa de interés sobre el consumo es mayor que considerar un modelo de agente representativo según Kaplan, Moll y Violante (2018). Así, el trabajo de investigación demuestra que si el gobierno genera una política monetaria que incentive a la economía, su impacto es mayor en aquellas familias que poseen un portafolio diversificado cuya riqueza está dividida entre salarios y activos financieros, que en aquellas que solamente cuentan con ingresos laborales, ampliando la brecha de desigualdad.
