Three methodologies of estimation of models with many predictors are implemented to forecast Colombian inflation. Two factor models, based on principal components, and partial least squares, as well as a Bayesian regression, known as Ridge regression are estimated. The methodologies are compared...

An application of Bayesian Model Averaging, BMA, is implemented to construct combined forecasts for the colombian inflation for the short and medium run. A model selection algorithm is applied over a set of linear models with a large dataset of potencial predictors using marginal as well as...

Evidence of the causal long-term relationship between budget deficit, money growth and inflation in Colombia is analyzed in this paper, considering the standard (M1), the narrowest (M0-Base) and the broadest (M3) definitions of money supply. Using a vector error correction (VEC) model with...

En este trabajo se presenta un modelo estadístico de alerta temprana, que utiliza modelos de duración para evaluar el estado corriente y pronosticar el estado futuro de la salud financiera de los bancos en Colombia. En el artículo se discuten las ventajas que tiene utilizar modelos de...

This paper presents an estimation of credit quality transition matrices for commercial banks inColombia, using a duration hazard function model, and following the methodology proposed byGómez-González et al (2009). Using a test developed by Weißbach et al (2005), we test for...

En este artículo se cuantifican las respuestas cualitativas de la Encuesta Mensual de Expectativas Económicas (EEME)" a través de métodos de conversión tradicionales como la estadística del balance de Bachellier (1986), el método probabilístico propuesto por Carlson-Parkin (1975) y la...

En este documento se presenta una metodología para el cálculo del Ranking acumulado de las entidades financieras que participan en la encuesta mensual de expectativas de inflación y tasa de cambio nominal (TRM), realizada por el Banco de la República. La metodología se basa en la prueba...

En este trabajo se analiza empíricamente la sostenibilidad fiscal en Colombia a través de las técnicas de cointegración. En particular, usando los ingresos tributarios y los gastos primarios del gobierno nacional central para el período 1990Q1 a 2008Q4 (datos reales y ajustados por el ciclo...
