Abstract
Este artículo trata de identificar los determinantes de las primas de riesgo en algunas de las monedas europeas justo antes de la Unión Monetaria. Los autores proponen un modelo de determinación del tipo de cambio y derivan una expresión para la prima forward. Esta expresión incluye variables monetarias y de producción y como novedad incorpora el efecto de la incertidumbre derivada de la política macroeconómica del estado. Esto es la principal contribución teórica del papel. Bajo supuestos estándar, esta fórmula se simplifica sustancialmente y permite aplicar el análisis de regresión. Después se estiman regresiones para cada una de las monedas, utilizando las medidas habituales de los agregados monetarios y la producción, junto con los tipos de interés Swaps, que se utilizan para medir el riesgo asociado a la política macroeconómica. Esta es la principal contribución empírica del trabajo.
The goal of this paper is to identify the main determinants of the risk premium in some European currency markets just before the EMU. To do this the authors propose an exchange rate model and derive a formula for the forward premium. This formula includes money and production variables and is quite standard, except for the inclusion of macroeconomic policy risk. This inclusion is the main theoretical contribution of the paper. Under some standard assumptions, this formula simplifies substantially and becomes amenable to regression analysis. Then, using standard measures of money and production and the interest rate swaps, which are intended to be measures of macroeconomic policy risk, the regression is estimated. This inclusion is the main empirical contribution of the paper.
