Abstract

Objetivo: desarrollar un modelo econometrico para estimar el impacto de la politica monetaria de Estados Unidos en economias pequenas y dolarizadas, considerando las variables principales que impactan las decisiones del banco central de Estados Unidos y aplicar este modelo al caso de Puerto Rico. Metodologia: especificamos un modelo VAR restringido derivado de un modelo teorico de la relacion entre las economias de Puerto Rico y Estados Unidos. Resultados: los resultados apuntan a que los aumentos en las tasas de interes de Estados Unidos pueden explicar una variacion considerable del desempleo en Puerto Rico, mas no asi de la inflacion. Limitaciones: no se toman en cuenta posibles efectos no lineales. Originalidad: se especifica un nuevo modelo VAR novel, diferenciandose de otros modelos por su matriz con restricciones que describen la relacion unidireccional entre las economias de Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico, inclusion de tasas de interes a distintas maduraciones y variables principales que determinan las decisiones sobre la tasa de interes para estudiar el impacto de politicas monetarias de Estados Unidos sobre economias dolarizadas. Conclusiones: es importante considerar la relacion entre las economias dolarizadas y la de Estados Unidos incorporando restricciones que describan la misma, las variables que afectan las decisiones del banco central y las expectativas, asi como la importancia de explorar politicas complementarias para mitigar efectos negativos sobre el mercado laboral.
