International Monetary Policy Spillover in Colombia: An SVAR Analysis
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- United States monetary policy plays an oversized role in determining worldwide financial conditions. Recent research has demonstrated that emerging markets economies are vulnerable to pressure from the policy stance of the Federal Reserve. Furthermore, monetary authorities in these countries have been shown to systematically respond to the Federal Funds rate, indicating that international monetary policy spillovers have eroded these nations’ monetary policy independence. This paper examines the transmission dynamics underlying these spillovers by estimating various structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) in an emerging market economy, Colombia. The analysis finds that U.S. monetary policy shocks are a significant determinant of Colombia’s central bank policy rate. In addition, it is shown that the transmission process of these spillovers changed after the global financial crisis of 2008.
