Abstract

ABSTRACT This article investigates the relationship between ex-post Equity Risk Premium (ERP) on the Colombian stock market and the economic cycles observed in the country using methodologies based on the Hodrick-Prescott and Kalman filters. Accordingly, a short-term econometric model is put forward for each filter, incorporating monthly data from 2008 to 2014. This reveals better adjustments in the case of the Kalman filter. Furthermore, the models show that the relationship between variables that reflect economic activity and ERP are counter-cyclical but not simultaneous, with a lag of up to two periods.******Este artículo pretende indagar por la relación existente entre la prima por riesgo ex post (ERP) del mercado accionario colombiano y los ciclos económicos observados para este país, a través de las metodologías del filtro mecánico de Hodrick-Prescott y el filtro de Kalman. Así, se plantea un modelo econométrico a corto plazo para cada uno de los filtros, con información mensual desde 2008 a 2014, lo que permite evidenciar mejores ajustes en el caso Kalman. Los modelos muestran que la relación entre las variables que capturan la actividad económica y la ERP resultó ser contra cíclica pero no contemporánea, con rezagos de hasta dos periodos.
