Risk matters: The real effects of volatility shocks

Conferencia 4 (2013)

Dr. Pablo Guerrón Quintana, Ph.D.

Título: Risk matters:  The real effects of volatility shocks.
Lugar: Instituto de Ciencias Básicas (Centro de Matemática), UCE. 
Fecha: Jueves 21 de marzo de 2013.
Horario:  15h00 - 17h00.
 
Resumen: We show how changes in the volatility of the real interest rate at which small open emerging economies borrow have an important effect on variables like output, consumption, investment, and hours.  We start by documenting the strong evidence of time-varying volatility in the real interest rates faced by four emerging economies: Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela. We estimate a stochastic volatility process for real interest rates. Then, we feed this process in a standard small open economy business cycle model. We find that an increase in real interest rate volatility triggers a fall in output, consumption, investment, hours, and debt.
