Este trabajo estima los regímenes cambiarios de facto de las siete economías más importantes de América Latina (LA-7) entre 1999 y 2011. Se utiliza la metodología de Zeileis, Shah y Patnaik (2010) que, a diferencia de otras desarrolladas hasta el momento, captura la estructura “fina” de los regímenes cambiarios de facto e identifica quiebres estructurales en fechas precisas. Se concluye que los países de AL-7 han logrado converger hacia un mayor grado de flotación cambiaria de facto, aunque existen diferencias en el grado de flexibilidad cambiaria entre los países que han adoptado esquemas de metas inflacionarias y los que carecen de ellas.Downloads
