Abstract

Este trabajo analiza la relación que existe entre las características de la distribución de precios relativos (resumidas en su varianza y su asimetría) y la inflación al consumidor en Colombia. Una vez se constata la presencia de una relación contemporánea positiva y significativa entre estas variables, se analizan las relaciones de causalidad entre ellas y se procede a verificar en qué medida las características de la distribución de precios relativos contribuyen a mejorar los pronósticos de corto plazo de la inflación.
