Abstract

In this paper we contribute to the long literature on the real exchange determination by estimating a Bayesian structural vector autoregressive model. We aim at identifying the effect on the EU-28 RER of shock originating in its main fundamental variables, namely, current account, government consumptions, investment and real income. We find in most of the shocks that the RER moves away for long periods, proving yet again, that the purchasing power parity condition is rarely fulfilled empirically. / En este trabajo se contribuye a la larga literatura sobre la determinación del intercambio real mediante la estimación de un modelo autorregresivo del vector estructural bayesiano. Nuestro objetivo es identificar el efecto en la TRE de la UE-28 de los shocks originados en sus principales variables fundamentales, a saber, cuenta corriente, consumos del gobierno, inversión e ingresos reales. Encontramos en la mayoría de las perturbaciones que la TRE se aleja durante largos períodos, lo que demuestra una vez más, que la condición de paridad de poder adquisitivo rara vez se cumple empíricamente.
