Abstract
Description
El trabajo consta de dos partes. En la primera se prueban, a partir del enfoque de cointegración de Engle y Granger (1987), las siguientes hipótesis: i) el efecto traspaso es unitario, ii) el efecto traspaso sufrió una variación al adoptar un nuevo arreglo cambiario en octubre de 2006, iii) la velocidad de ajuste aumentó con el cambio del régimen cambiario (no linealidad), iv) los bancos del sistema financiero no ajustan simétricamente las tasas de interés (con el fin de aumentar su margen de intermediación). En la segunda parte, se analizan los factores que influyen sobre la efectividad del mecanismo de transmisión, entre ellos, la dolarización financiera, la concentración bancaria, el nivel de deuda interna del Gobierno y el déficit primario del Banco Central de Costa Rica. Estas últimas dos variables, como porcentaje del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB).
The paper has two parts, the first part tests from the Engle and Granger (1987) point of view the following hypothesis: i) the pass through is equal to one, ii) the pass through changed after the adoption of a new exchange rate regime, iii) the pass through speed changed along with the change in the exchange rate regime (non-linearity), iv) the banks in the financial system do not adjust symmetrically their interest rates (in order to increase their profit margin). In the second part the paper analyses the main factors that affect the effectiveness of the pass through mechanism, financial dollarization, banking industry concentration, the level of government debt and the Central Bank deficit.
