Nuestro jefe y Prof. Principal Gabriel Rodriguez junto a Flavio Perez Rojo publicaron el artículo: Impact of monetary policy shocks in the Peruvian economy over time en la revista Structural Change and Economic Dynamics.
We investigate the evolution of the impact of monetary policy (MP) shocks in Peru in 1996Q1-2018Q2 using a set of time-varying parameter VAR models with stochastic volatility (TVP-VAR-SV), as proposed by Chan and Eisenstat (2018). The main results are: (i) the volatility of MP shocks falls during the Inflation Targeting (IT) regime; (ii) a contractionary MP shock decreases both GDP growth and inflation within a five quarters time span; (iii) the interest rate reacts faster to aggregate supply shocks than to both aggregate demand shocks and exchange rate shocks; (iv) under the pre-IT regime, MP shocks explain 20%, 10%, and 85% of the uncertainty in GDP growth, inflation, and the interest rate, respectively; and under the IT regime, all these percentages shrink to 1%–2%. The sensitivity analysis confirms the robustness of the main results. In general, the results show that MP has contributed to diminishing macroeconomic volatility in Peru.
