Abstract

¿Qué efectos tiene la incertidumbre de política económica sobre la transmisión de las decisiones de política monetaria a la economía real? Este trabajo responde esta pregunta a través de una metodología de dos fases: primero, se recopilan diversas medidas de choques de política monetaria en Colombia, tanto de fuentes externas como de estimaciones a través de técnicas de vectores autorregresivos siguiendo a Bernanke y Blinder (1992) y Christiano et al. (1999) incluyendo en el sistema alguna medida de incertidumbre de política económica; segundo, se utiliza el método de proyecciones locales de Jordà (2005) para estudiar tanto la transmisión de los choques a la actividad económica como el efecto de varias medidas de incertidumbre sobre aquella transmisión. Los resultados indican una pérdida considerable de poder de la política monetaria para influenciar la demanda agregada bajo incertidumbre, lo cual es consistente con una amplia literatura teórica. ***ABSTRACT: What are the effects of economic policy uncertainty on the transmission of monetary policy decisions to the real economy? To answer this question, this paper employs a two-step strategy: firstly, the paper compiles a wide set of monetary policy shocks, both from external sources and from internal VAR-based estimations following Bernanke and Blinder (1992) and Christiano et al. (1999) including measures of uncertainty within the system; secondly, the paper uses local projections (Jordà (2005)) to estimate impulse-response functions from monetary policy shocks to the real activity and to estimate the effect of uncertainty on those functions. The evidence is consistent with a considerable loss of power for monetary policy under uncertainty, which is consistent with an ample theoretical literature.
