The effects of exchange rate regimes on real exchange rate volatility : A dynamic panel data approach

This paper seeks to analyze the relationship between exchange rate regimes and short-term volatility of the effective real exchange rate. To these ends, a sample of 62 countries for the 1980-1999 period, the GMM methodology for dynamic panel models proposed by Arellano and Bond (1991) and diverse ex...

Este trabajo analiza la relación entre régimen cambiario y volatilidad de corto plazo del tipo de cambio real multilateral (TCR). Para ello se combinan varias clasificaciones cambiarias para una muestra de 62 países en el período 1980-1999 con la metodología de Arellano y Bond (1991) para paneles dinámicos. Respecto a las clasificaciones el trabajo discute algunas clasificaciones de facto recientes y propone una nueva clasificación que contrasta las clasificaciones de jure con las de facto. Ello permite detectar posibles inconsistencias entre el compromiso del banco central y el comportamiento observado. Los resultados confirman la no neutralidad de los regimenes cambiarios respecto a la volatilidad real del TCR. Los resultados muestran también que las fijaciones de jure presentan más volatilidad que las flexibles. Cuando se considera la nueva clasificación, las soluciones extremas (fijo consistente y flexible) tienen la similar volatilidad real. Además, esta son las menores de la muestra comparada con el resto de los regimenes. Adicionalmente, mayor apertura, aumentos en el PBI per capita y shock en los términos de intercambio reducen la volatilidad real mientras que shocks monetarios positivos, incrementos en los flujos de capitales y en el gasto público incrementan la volatilidad del TCR. También se obtiene evidencia de la necesidad de diferenciar el comportamiento de los regimenes en países de la OECD respecto a los países emergentes o en desarrollo.
