Abstract

En este artículo se explora empíricamente el vínculo entre la volatilidad y el desalineamiento de la tasa de cambio real (TCR) con la actividad de las empresas en Colombia durante el período 2000-2011. Se analiza su efecto sobre las ventas externas, la productividad, la inversión y las ganancias de 4.871 empresas. Los resultados sugieren que el efecto de la volatilidad de la tasa de cambio real sobre el desempeño de las firmas es mixto. En particular, este efecto es negativo en el caso de las ganancias, mientras que no tiene efecto sobre las ventas externas, el crecimiento de la productividad y la tasa de inversión de las empresas. Por otro lado, el desalineamiento tiene un efecto negativo y significativo sobre las ventas externas y las ganancias, lo que podría sugerir que desequilibrios macroeconómicos de largo plazo afectan la actividad económica de las firmas.
