Abstract

Este documento mide el impacto de los cambios en la tasa de referencia del banco central sobre las tasas de préstamos bancarios tanto a nivel agregado como por tamaño de préstamo. Nuestros datos provienen de los mercados de préstamos de nómina y personales en México para el periodo que comprende de 2011 a 2019. Utilizamos un modelo autorregresivo con rezagos distribuidos, que permite la posibilidad de efectos asimétricos. Los resultados muestran, entre otros hallazgos, que el traspaso es pequeño; no es necesariamente positivo; no se puede descartar un comportamiento asimétrico; y, su valor depende del tamaño del préstamo. Estos resultados implican una reducción de la eficacia de la política monetaria, además de que la reacción de los bancos a los cambios en el tipo de interés objetivo puede tener implicaciones distributivas. La originalidad del trabajo radica en la agrupación de las tasas de interés por tamaño de préstamo y en el uso de una metodología que permite evaluar la existencia de asimetrías. Su principal limitante es la falta de información concerniente a las características socioeconómicas de los deudores.
