We identified and estimated a SVAR model in the real and nominal exchange rates through the Blanchard and Quah decomposition. This enables us to provides results regarding the magnitude and lenght of nominal and real shock effects in the real and nominal exchange rate. We estimate that the...

Desde el punto de vista de las finanzas públicas, el dinero está sujeto a impuestos. Sin embargo, mientras el gravamen a otros bienes se recolecta a través de una entidad específica, la recolección del impuesto al dinero se realiza cuando se emiten saldos monetarios y/o aumenta el nivel de...

En el gráfico 1 se muestra el llamado índice de la Tasa de Cambio Real (ICTR) construido por el Banco de la República; se presenta el índice, con una periodicidad mensual, para el período comprendido entre Enero de 1989 y Septiembre d e 1996. Se observa un comportamiento en el cual hay una...

The common assumptions that labor income share does not change over time or across countries and that factor income shares are equal to the elasticity of output with respect to factors have had important implications for economic theory. However, there are several theoretical reasons for why the...

In this study, we propose an explanation for why labor and capital shares do not seem to have a trend: an increasing trend in physical capital share is compensated by a decreasing trend in land share. Similarly, an increasing trend in human capital share is compensated by a decreasing trend in...

We consider a model of factor saving innovations and study the effects of exogenous changes in labor supply. In a biased innovations setting, as economies accumulate capital, labor becomes relatively scarce and expensive. As a consequence, incentives for la-bor saving and capital using...

We present an endogenous growth model where innovations are factor-saving and model the choice of technologies in an Overlapping Generations Model where any technology can be adopted paying a cost. Markets are competitive and marginal productivity of factors determines factor prices; therefore,...

We consider a decentralized version of the neoclassical growth model where labor share is chosen by workers to maximize their long run (permanent) wages. In this framework, if the labor share increases relative to the competitive share, workers capture a larger share of a smaller total income in...
