Abstract

Este documento analiza varios aspectos del ajuste y comportamiento microecon�mico de los precios en Colombia, usando informaci�n de un Hipermercado de Bogot� para el per�odo 1989 a comienzos de 1999. El an�lisis muestra que en un ambiente de inflaci�n promedio superior al 20% el precio de un art�culo t�pico permaneci� inalterado en promedio durante 130 d�as. La alta proporci�n de art�culos para los cuales sus precios no se ajustan con alta frecuencia es evidencia favorable de la importancia de los "costos de men�" en la decisi�n de reajustar un precio. Adicionalmente, se encontr� que en el per�odo de mayor inflaci�n (1989-1991), la duraci�n del precio t�pico es menor, as� como el tama�o del reajuste promedio medido a trav�s de la banda (S,s). A pesar del ambiente inflacionario y de la aparente extensa duraci�n del precio t�pico, no se encontr� evidencia de inflexibilidad a la baja de los precios nominales. Igualmente, se encontr� una asociaci�n positiva entre inflaci�n y variabilidad de precios, similar a la que se ha detectado en otros pa�ses.
