Abstract

La acentuada preferencia de la poblaci�n por efectivo para realizar sus compras ha motivado diversos estudios con el prop�sito de establecer cu�les son los principales determinantes de las decisiones de los agentes sobre los instrumentos de pago que usan en sus transacciones. Este documento presenta algunas estimaciones de la demanda transaccional por efectivo y del uso de tarjetas d�bito para Colombia, usando modelos de ecuaciones simult�neas para datos entre abril de 2002 y abril de 2012. Los resultados permiten confirmar para la poblaci�n bancarizada la importancia de determinantes tradicionales como la tasa de inter�s, e identificar el papel que desempe�an determinantes no tradicionales como los cajeros autom�ticos, dat�fonos y el gravamen a los movimientos financieros. El aumento en el n�mero de dat�fonos ha comenzado a generar cambios en los instrumentos de pago preferidos por la poblaci�n bancarizada, lo que podr�a representar una amenaza a la preeminencia del efectivo sobre las tarjetas d�bito en las transacciones que se realizan en establecimientos asociados al comercio formal. As� mismo, se logra identificar que aumentos en indicadores de inseguridad y de informalidad resultan en un mayor uso de efectivo.
