Abstract

ResumenEste artículo analiza la eficiencia semifuerte del mercado cambiario colombiano con dos regímenes de cambio diferentes: el sistema de banda cambiaria y el tipo de cambio flexible. En el estudio se emplearon diferentes pruebas de cointegración, adicionalmente una prueba de restricciones en los parámetros de cointegración, planteada por Ferré y Hall (2002), con la cual se puede demostrar que cointegración entre los mercados de divisas no significa necesariamente ineficiencia de estos. Para realizar el estudio se emplearon datos diarios de la tasa de cambio. Los resultados indican que tanto para el régimen de banda como el de tasa de cambio flexible el mercado cambiario colombiano es eficiente.

This article discusses the semi-strong efficiency of the Colombian exchange market from the perspective of two different exchange regimes, i.e. the exchange rate band and the flexible exchange rate systems. This study involved the use of different co-integration tests. In addition to this, a test of restraints of the co-integration parameters developed by Ferré and Hall (2002) was used as a tool to show that the co-integration of currency exchange markets does not necessarily reflect that the markets are inefficient. The study was conducted using data about daily exchange rates. The results show that both for the exchange rate band and the flexible exchange rate systems, the Colombian exchange market is efficient.
