This paper analyzes how terms of trade affect aggregate productivity using a two-country monopolistic competitive business cycle model driven by aggregate technology shocks. The inefficiency of the equilibrium implies that each country’s productivity is affected by the terms of trade. This...

We study how determinacy and expectational stability (E-stability) of rational expectations equilibrium may be affected by monetary policy when the cost channel of monetary policy matters. We focus on both instrumental Taylor-type rules and optimal target rules. We show that standard instrument...

We evaluate the expectational stability (E-stability) of rational expectations equilibrium in a simple "New Keynesian" small open economy model. In particular, we extend Bullard and Mitra (JME, 2002) results of E-stability in closed economy to an open economy framework by evaluating Taylor-type...

La producción potencial de un país no es observable, por lo tanto, no se puede determinar a priori cual es el mejor método para calcularla. Cada país tiene características propias y cada método tiene sus propias limitaciones y ventajas, lo cual agrega un grado intrínseco de incertidumbre...

El documento describe el Modelo de Proyección Trimestral (MPT) utilizado por el Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP) para fines de simulación de política monetaria y de proyección de las principales variables macroeconómicas. La estructura básica del modelo es una aproximación a la...

En este trabajo se estima la elasticidad del pass-through del tipo de cambio y precios importados hacia los precios al consumidor de la economía peruana para el período 1995-2002. La metodología se basa en el uso de vectores autorregresivos (VAR) que permite desarrollar un modelo de...
