Abstract

Resumen: ¿Cómo se incorporan la expectativas de las tasas de interés en la estructura de tipos de interés enColombia? Las dos principales teorías propuestas en este sentido son la Hipótesis de las Expectativas (HE) y laHipótesis de prima por liquidez (HPL). Este estudio contrasta ambas teorías tanto para las tasas de los TES como las de los CDTs, empleando modelos econométricos de series de tiempo que controlan por la persistencia de las tasas y su heterocedasticidad. Los resultados soportan la HPL, consistente con el hecho de que en Colombia, las tasas de largo plazo tienden a ser mayores que las de corto plazo. De otro lado, las tasas de largo plazo presentan algún poder predictivo sobre las tasas futuras de corto plazo, consistente con la HE. Abstract:How does the yield curve incorporate the expectations on the Colombian future short-term interest rates?. Two theories have been proposed to explain it: the Expectation Hypothesis and the Liquidity Preference Hypothesis. This paper tests both theories for the TES yield curve as well as for the CDT yield curve, using time-series models that account for the persistence and heteroskedasticity of the interest rates. The results support the Liquidity Preference Hypothesis, consistent with the fact that in Colombia long-term rates have been consistently higher than short-term rates. However we found evidence of some predictive power of the long-term rates on the future short term rates, consistent with the Expectation Hypothesis.
