Abstract

Resumen: Generalmente, las series de tiempo de precios de electricidad presentan cambios estructurales debido a las condiciones económicas relacionadas con la oferta, la demanda o las reglas del mercado donde se transan. Mientras algunas de las propuestas para modelar estas series están basadas en modelos de reversión a la media inspirados por la literatura financiera (Philipovic, 1998), sus saltos y cambios estructurales han evidenciado la existencia de regímenes con diferentes medias y varianzas (Huisman, 2003). En Colombia, estas series parecen mostrar una tendencia general de crecimiento. En este artículo se busca evidencia de si este crecimiento es debido a una tendencia puramente determinística, o a una raíz unitaria, o a la presencia de distintos cambios de nivel, los cuales podrían haber sido causados por eventos exógenos, tales como los fenómenos climáticos de El Nino y La Nina y las resoluciones de la Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas del país. Los resultados se inclinan a favor de un proceso estacionario alrededor de varios cambios de nivel, y senalan la importancia de contar con la información sobre los eventos ocurridos en la evolución del proceso.Abstract: Usually, the time series of electricity prices in different markets show structural changes due to economic conditions related to supply, demand or specific market rules. While some of the proposals for modeling these series are based on mean reversion models inspired by the financial literature (Philipovic, 1998), its jumps and structural changes have evidenced the existence of regimes with different means and variances (Huisman, 2003). In Colombia, these series seem to show an overall growing pattern. This article seeks to find evidence of whether this growing pattern is due to the presence of a purely deterministic trend; or if there is a unit root, implying the existence of a stochastic trend; or if the series is generated by a stationary process around various changes of level, which could have been caused by various exogenous events such as the weather phenomena of El Nino and La Nina and the resolutions of the Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas in the country. The results are in favor of a stationary process around multiple level changes, and highlight the importance of having information about the events that occurred in the evolution of the process.
