Descripción
The last commodity boom seems to have been a blessing for many commodity-export countries like Argentina, but it may have also had important effects on the exchange rate and economic structure. We develop a cointegration system approach to study a transmission mechanism of commodity prices on the exchange rate. We focus on their relationships with agricultural exports and also with oil imports. The system approach allows us to obtain consistent estimates of long-run effects taking into account possible interactions and testing exogeneity. We found that a rise in commodity prices appreciates the exchange rate when controlling by domestic determinants.
El último boom en el precio de las commodities parece haber sido una bendición para muchos países exportadores como Argentina, pero pudo haber tenido efectos adicionales sobre la estructura económica. Siguiendo un enfoque de vectores cointegrados estudiamos un mecanismo de transmisión de los precios al tipo de cambio centrándonos en sus relaciones con las exportaciones agrícolas e importaciones de petróleo. Este enfoque permite obtener estimaciones consistentes de los efectos de largo plazo teniendo en cuenta sus posibles interacciones y evaluando exogeneidad. Encontramos que, controlando por factores domésticos, un aumento de los precios de las commodities aprecia el tipo de cambio.
